Epoch Timestamps on linked files

Hello folks,

How do I tell rails not to put an epoch timestamp on the javascript and css files it links in for me, as well as any images whose tags I've used the image helper to generate?

Thanks Much in Advance! Bill

Why would you want to remove the timestamps? When updating assets you would want the client to pick up changes asap, by having those timestamps they will be reloaded on first request.

Also whilst the assets are left unchanged, the browser will not query them again as the URL looks the same. Check your browser logs.
