This does several things to subreddit stylesheets: - stores them on the thumbs buckets rather than the main static bucket. (this was not desirable before on reddit.com due to CDN configuration) - enforces a new restriction of custom (%%style%%) images only in stylesheets to make secure urls easier to resolve. existing subreddits are grandfathered in for now. - writes, if possible as above, a second stylesheet that references subreddit images over https. At some point in the future, the thumbs buckets should be directly accessible on HTTPS via the same URLs which would remove the need for the second stylesheet to be created and uploaded. The custom image rules and other changes would still be good.
This is the primary codebase that powers reddit.com.
