YSlow 0.8 Patches Firebug's Net Panel

At Future of Web Apps in London I announced the release of YSlow 0.8. This update includes a few enhancements, but the biggest change is a patch to Firebug's Net Panel. I discovered that resources (scripts, stylesheets, images) read from the browsers cache (with no HTTP traffic) still show up in Net Panel. This has caused confusion when people thought their cacheable components were not actually being cached by the browser. I talked to Joe Hewitt and settled on a fix that comes with this version of YSlow. The full details are found in the article Bug (fix) in Firebug's Net Panel. Enjoy and send your feedback.

This Bug also affects the HTML panel.
We run a GWT extended application that has the same GWT HTML in every page. But the net panel reports a load on every page change.
Could you fix that too?

It would be great to have the ability to automatically add known CDNs for general use. Like e.g. Akamai. It's a bit funny that www.akamai.com shows an "F" at "Use a CDN".

Thanks for that great tool! It really saves a lot of time!

We have a (short) list of known CDNs. I'll add akamai.com.
