Mod Cache for lighttpd born
Published October 27th, 2006 in TechI had setup homepage of mod-cache at here. First stable release is version 1.0. Although mod-cache could be used on every sites, static content sites(such as images, videos, mp3, softwares sites) are more suitable for v1.0. I had tested it on heavy load servers for months and it did work very well. For better dynamic content caching, please have little patient for forthcoming v2.0 release.
If there had any questions about mod-cache, let's discuss on mod_cache group. Also Please drop me a mail if mod_cache+lighttpd help you somewhat.
will test it out today,thanks
Still a lot of work to do, like disk quota, acl, Vary support, etc. But it's a very good start, congrats!
I want to try to keep mod_cache as simple as possible, so disk quota is not a option. tmpwatch program is suitable to clean old files.
lighttpd provides conditional configuration which can be used as ACL.
when will you make patch for 1.5? after it released?
I will release V1.1 featuring cache PURGE support and set expire header based on refresh-pattern this week.
when I tested mod_cache, I found mod_proxy to backend is not keepalive.
is it true?
lighttpd 1.4.x's mod_proxy has no keep-alive feature, and I think it's the biggest drawback of lighttpd;)
lighttpd 1.5's mod_proxy is keep-alive by default
