 * I would love the ability to add external url to cache. For example, if I have
   some js files into a subdomain or another dir.
    Actually any url file that doesn’t
   macht the host will be considered as external and won’t be cached.

 * Hi Virgodesign. External files aren’t cached by design. The reasoning behind 
   this is for when you have external javascript files that are on a CDN or some
   sort of dynamic service (eg. Google Analytics).
 * What sort of files do you wish to cache? Why not just copy them to your theme?

 * Hi, and thanks for the reply.
    I’m running a wordpress multisite and I have a
   static subdomain where I put many libraries (with js and css files). This way
   I can Use these libraries in every subsite, independenlty from the activated 
   theme. The plugin is not able to recognize the files inside this subdomain (due
   to the url path) and consider them as external.

 * Hi Virgodesign. We have looked into this and had trouble trying to implement 
   it. The main issue is that the plugin can’t check the modified date of the remote
   files without a delay. We have decided this kind of change doesn’t solve the 
   problem that merge minify is trying to solve.
 * In your case creating a php script that pulls the javascript and css files into
   your theme might be the best solution if you want them merged & minified.
