Question

Every time there is a post from page the entire bunch of css gets reloaded. Is it possible to tell them not to come in again and again. There is a series of GET that get fired. Can we optimize in some way or is it normal behavior?

The environment is google apps in python.

Check out Using Static Files and Handlers for Static Files. Since the latter link refer to cache duration of static files, I believe the the caching functionality is possible.

Unlike a traditional web hosting
environment, Google App Engine does
not serve files directly out of your
application’s source directory unless
configured to do so. We named our
template file index.html, but this
does not automatically make the file
available at the URL /index.html.

But there are many cases where you
want to serve static files directly to
the web browser. Images, CSS
stylesheets, JavaScript code, movies
and Flash animations are all typically
stored with a web application and
served directly to the browser. You
can tell App Engine to serve specific
files directly without your having to
code your own handler.
