Header image in WordPress plugin repository

[Yanislav Iliev]

Hi everyone,

How long does it usually take for a new header image to appear on WordPress plugin repository?
I am talking about the banner-772x250 image located in assets folder.

I guess there is a caching system (varnish) that cached the image. Will converting the image from jpeg to png and thus changing the
filename force the cache to be emptied?

Thanks!

Should be pretty quick.

Did you put into an assets directory on peer with trunk, or inside trunk? It needs to be outside of your plugin and at same level as trunk, not part of the plugin. I was reminded of this over the weekend when I updated a plugin that someone else on our team wrote. HTH.

It needs to be in /assets actually

/trunk/
/tags/
/assets/

Thanks Mike!

It's really a strange issue.
When I access the header image directly: Loading Image...
it displays the old logo - (thenly) - it cannot be local cache as I've tried it on a fresh EC2 instance (wget url) and on a couple local computers - the result is always the same
The interesting part is that when I checkout the repository: svn co http://s-plugins.wordpress.org/all-in-one-event-calendar/assets/
the image in that repository is the new logo?
Very strange :) - the only explanation that I have is that it is some sort of a web cacher like varnish that is caching the logo on s-plugins.wordpress.org:80

My repository structure is:
/
/assets/banner-772x250.jpg
/branches/
/tags/
/trunk/

Thank you for spending your time on this!

If you try these two they are different headers:

http://s-plugins.wordpress.org/all-in-one-event-calendar/assets/banner-772x250.jpg
Loading Image...

So it would seem to be a caching issue. Dunno how long the update will take. Otto?

s-plugins.wordpress.org is a Externally hosted CDN - Edgecast to be specific.

Right now, the only way is to wait for it to update, the Edgecast CDN
has a long cache expiry time, so WordPress.org needs to be updated to
add a Cache busting version/revision parameter by the look of it.

Sit tight for now, and someone will get the it fixed "soon" - I'm sure
you'd rather it fixed instantly, but that's not possible right now.

I'll be adding cache busting soon. It's been on my todo list for the last
week.

Sorry for the brevity and typos, sent from my phone.

A way around this is to convert and rename the banner image from jpeg to png or the other way around.

The cache-busting parameter has been implemented now. It will take
effect on the next plugin update.

So touch the plugin's readme.txt file or perform some other update of
your choice, and the cache will get busted for your banner image. It
will then get busted again when you change something in the assets
directory going forward.

Hi Dion (and others),

Don't know if you or anyone else has noticed but the banner image is being served with Content Type "application/octet-stream" instead of with "image/jpeg." Not a big deal but it's not correct HTTP and more practically it causes a browser to download the file rather than display it if accessed directly via a URL. FWIW.

Thanks for mentioning it Mike (Saves me looking into why it was
happening), I also noticed that, and am in the process of p2'ing it :)
