Other asset types could work pretty much the same way - you'd have to write your servlet and figure out how to map selectors to the page specific renditions. Unlike the images you would not find as many helper APIs since most people do reference their PDFs directly these days. Still the underlying c...

If you can get the regular expression right you could probably get the rewrites working. Personally i have always found complex rewrites in /etc/maps challenging to get working as expected. If you do get it working you should be aware that your cache flushing may not work as expected since the path ...

The best solution would be to not refer to the renditions directly. As a general rule the recommended best practice is to refer to DAM assets through a servlet rather than directly. This gives you better control of the URL and allows you better cache control in general. So for example consider how t...

I don't believe that there are grunt plugins for full spectrum of tasks needed to build and deploy all aspects of an AEM project. If you read excellent blog post Scott pointed to from Citytech you'll see that they are using Grunt to do common JavaScript and CSS tasks (including integration to runnin...

If you want a guarantee that your configuration is going to be globally effective you really can't us the design mode to manage the configuration.

What version of AEM are you working with and where are you seeing that class. I can find it in 6.0. 

For HTTP to HTTPS a reverse proxy really isn't an option - you have no choice but to do s 301 redirect. You need the browser to make the HTTPS connection - with a reverse proxy the browser would still think it was on a unencrypted page - all you'd be doing is establishing ad SSL connection between y...

I assuming you are asking about spreading DAM authoring across multiple servers, and not publishing. The performance aspects of spreading authoring of DAM across multiple servers are really not related to DAM so much as they are to how you cluster. If you are specifically worried about DAM performan...
