WebP support

Hello!

I’m a glad user of FooGallery and FooBox on our school’s website (https://gtgs.info). In the last few days I also translated and approved the strings of both plugins into german.

I also use ShortPixel Image Optimizer which created WebP versions of all my images and thumbnails. By replacing <img>– with <picture>-tags this works flawless in Chrome for normal embedded images on my site.

WP Fastest Cache took also care of WebP in my .htaccess:

# BEGIN WEBPWpFastestCache
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTP_ACCEPT} image/webp
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} jpg|png
RewriteCond %{DOCUMENT_ROOT}/$1.webp -f
RewriteRule ^(.*) "/$1.webp" [L]
</IfModule>
<IfModule mod_headers.c>
Header append Vary Accept env=REDIRECT_accept
Header set Expires "max-age=2592000, public"
Header unset ETag
Header set Connection keep-alive
FileETag None
</IfModule>
AddType image/webp .webp
# END WEBPWpFastestCache

But still thumbs in Foogallery and – most important – large images in Foobox are delivered only as JPGs/PNGs.

I wonder if you have plans of any kind for support of .webp images in the future. Something like this:

Check if browser supports WebP --> Check if according ".webp"-image exists --> Deliver ".webp"-version instead of .jpg/.png

Or is there anything I could change in the code of FooGallery or FooBox (as a quick fix) to achieve this?

Thanks for any idea and best regards
