Limit of static files that can be cached?

[Ryan McDonald]

Is there a practical limit to the number of static files that can be
cached? I'm looking at using CirruxCache to serve only static files;
I'm not interested in having it cache files from some other site. I
can see maybe needing 2000 or so static (tiny) files. I know this is
not really what Cirrux was made for, so will it "scale" well for 2000
static entries?

P.S. CirrixCache is GREAT!

Hi Ryan,

there is no limit in number of cached files. The only annoying limit
that you can reach easily is the size of a cached file (which is
roughly around 1MB I guess, I need to test because the AppEngine API
changed a lot). Also I plan to add chunk caching to avoid this limit.
Also CirruxCache will redirect the request to the origin if it cannot
cache the file. So it's not blocker.

Thanks for the cool feedback though :-)
