where are cached contents stored?

[Charlie Arehart]

Hi, folks. It’s not clear from the site where cached contents are stored. Is it simply in memory (in the worker process)? Or do you do/offer any sort of persistence to disk (and if so, how is that managed over time)? I’d assume since the topic is not discussed, it’s stored in memory. But then is there any management for that (setting limits for how much memory can be used, for instance)?

And about the purge process, is there anything to protect its execution (such as to require a special querystring value), so that it can’t just be run casually by anyone (or worse, by someone wanting to negatively impact the site)?

I appreciate that this may be one of those tools where it was created to solve a minimalist task and was never evolved, so I understand if you don’t provide for these things. It’s just not clear from reading the pages whether this is the case. I suppose an argument could be made to document such limitations, but I appreciate also how that could devalue the tool in the eyes of those who would otherwise have known of/considered such things as limitations. :-) Thanks for offering what you do.

Hi Charlie,

Similar to the cache PoC, maybe should take this tool offline. 

There doesn't seem to be much demand for it.

It's a long time ago I worked on it, but I'm pretty sure that you can configure

the LRU size, and also optionally plug in a memcached server as a L2.

Got it. :-)
