PLIP: Inline background images automatically in CSSRegistry

Reported by: mborch Owned by: mborch

Component: Backend (Python) Version:
Keywords: css Cc:

Description

Using so-called  data-uris, we can optimize page delivery over HTTP (fewer requests) and avoid using sprites which are difficult to manage and can perform poorly on clients (high memory requirement).

The idea is to introduce a new checkbox option in the CSS registry: "Embed background images".

When the resource is published (or merged), we would issue subrequests to try and download any background image specified in the stylesheet. This does not require a full parse. It will probably suffice to match with a regular expression.
