[Ask Flask] Why would I use url_for for a static script file in a flask app?

• flask-static-digest

  Flask extension to help make your static files production ready by md5 tagging and gzipping them.

I wrote an extension https://github.com/nickjj/flask-static-digest which digests your files by md5 tagging them so you can cache bust them and an optional config option I added was to be able to set FLASK_STATIC_DIGEST_HOST_URL = "https://cdn.example.com" but it never occurred to me you could just set static_url_path to https://cdn.example.com to get the same effect without needing to do anything extra in the extension. Going to investigate this approach and patch flask-static-digest if it turns out that it works.
