Using asset_host proc for only images in Rails 3.1

Question

In previous versions of rails I was able to use a proc to serve only image assets from another server with:

ActionController::Base.asset_host = Proc.new { |source|
  if source.starts_with?('/images')
   "https://s3.amazonaws.com/..."
  end
}

This doesn't seem to work in Rails 3.1 due to the new asset pipeline. Anyone know how to get this working?

Answer 1

This seems like kinda a hack but it works:

  config.action_controller.asset_host = Proc.new { |source|
    if source =~ /\b(.png|.jpg|.gif)\b/i
      "https://s3.amazonaws.com/bucketName"
    end
  }

The folder needs to be called assets inside this bucket and not images.
