Support file size limits

[nzakas]

It would be useful to include a file size limit, such that a data URI is not generated if a referenced file in the CSS is larger than a given size.

Probably also a good idea to add a warning in verbose mode when a data URI is longer than 32 KB because IE8 will ignore it.

I'd support this, I had to disable embedded stylesheets for IE8 as a result of this issue

The code is already written for this:

The 2nd half of this request is addressed in v0.3.4

If you don´t won´t to support IEs (f.e. on a mobile website) it would be nice if this feature is controllable via a parameter.

proposal: maxfilesize = 1 (default) maxfilesize = 0 (images are converted regardless the filesize)

[fearphage]

Coming back around to this. I'd like to support this request.

"if the encoded image ends up being over 10k, keep the image link."

I may be able to code it even. I'll see when I get some time.

I think there are actually two possible useful options:

1. Don't include the data URI if it's longer than x characters
2. Don't include the data URI if the image is larger than x kb

I tackled the URI length limit here: https://github.com/nzakas/cssembed/pull/20

Cool, I'll take a look this weekend, thanks!

Sorry, the weekend got away from me. I'll look at this as soon as I can!
