Transform an SVG into a data URI—best practice

How to transform an SVG into a data URI

by Jenny Knuth, based on the work of Chris Coyier and Taylor Hunt

A data URI is a nice way to include a web resource without needing to make an HTTP request. Chris Coyier explains the technique nicely in Probably Don't Base64 SVG.

While a PNG might use Base64 encoding, for SVG, there is a better way.

Taylor Hunt's experiments led to this solution for optimizing SVGs in data URIs:

"So the best way of encoding SVG in a data URI is data:image/svg+xml,[actual data]. We don’t need the ;charset=utf-8 parameter (or the invalid ;utf8 parameter…), because URLs are always ASCII."

equivalent / NGINX on Ruby on Rails with Unicorn and GZIP assets
Created March 4, 2014 18:37 — forked from Austio/NGINX on Ruby on Rails with Unicorn and GZIP assets
1. Open a command prompt and navigate to /etc/nginx/ssl
2. issue "openssl req -new -newkey rsa:2048 -nodes -keyout server.key -out server.csr"
3. Get your certificate - Go to your certificate authority and give them the CSR
4. copy your new crt to the /etc/nginx/ssl and give it read priveledges
5. reconfigure your nginx.conf, here is mine. The first part redirects 80 to 443, the second part listens to 443 and is optimized to return Ruby on Rails application requests using gzip and unicorn.
