Caching Paperclip asset URLs to avoid network request when getting generated URL?

Question

Is there an acceptable way to have Paperclip not make a network request each time you call model.attachment.url()?

I'd like to cache the URLs for faster load speeds / being able to load my development environment, without needing connected wifi, etc.

Answer 1

If you are using the fog provider, it appears that you should be able use Paperclip::Attachment.default_options[:fog_host] = "http://myhost.com" in your paperclip initializer to specify your host. This should reduce the look up calls.
