Can we reference a squishit generated JavaScript and CSS with # from external domain?

Question

We have a ASP.NET site which is using squishit with # appended to the end of the name of the newly generated file. This project is calling another PHP site which is hosted on an outside server. Is there a way to call the generated js and css bundles from our PHP site?

Answer 1

Not really, you can link to the asset statically but have no way to figure out what will replace the #. Your best bet is probably to switch to querystring invalidation (just remove the '#' from your output filename) and figure out a way to ensure that the right version is retrieved in the PHP app (easier said than done if they are deployed separately).
