nicjansma on "[Plugin: W3 Total Cache] Update to minified file names after content update"

Hi,

Thanks for W3TC, it's awesome.

I'm having a problem with my setup. I have Minify enabled for JS/CSS/etc, and am using CloudFront (origin-pull) CDN.

When I update the content of a CSS file, nothing about the file name seems to change. For example, the current URL of the minified CSS is:

http://cdn.blah.com/wp-content/cache/minify/000000/fYpJDoAgEAQ_BBl5Eo5tGIVAYFz4vRw8Gi-drko5uoqF5ZwSKmNQ40EVtDXSILzP-Tbuq9KA9N4Fqz-i_nXDFa8ySxTtZqITdWzTHvEA.css

However, if I make a change to one of the original files, this file name stays the same.

The problem is when using CloudFront as an origin-pull CDN, with expiry headers, CloudFront doesn't know the content has changed unless the file name changes. So content updates don't get propagated to users unless I do a CloudFront invalidation on that unique URL, which is silly.

I would expect the minified file name to change once any of their contents changes. Is this not the case? Is there any way to force the file name to change?
