Hey Lalit, nice idea.

To prevent GET requests you need to modify the cache-control http header or the expire header?

I’ve reade the developer.yahoo.com section about cache control and expire headers and i’m a bit confused

Actually i’m using the Amazon s3 plugin for wordpress that modify automatically expire headers, am i ok with those settings?

Thanks
Fred

Another freeware Amazon S3 client that allows setting cache control and other HTTP headers is CloudBerry Explorer http://s3explorer.cloudberrylab.com/

You could also compare costs with Mosso’s S3-like cloud storage service, and have a look at Steadyoffload.com (I believe it is cheaper than S3)

Thanks Gaurav!
Actually we tired this out at SlideShare too, but I was not aware of the impact because I didn’t have the S3 stats. I am sure it would have been more drastic than this.
