About http cache module

Server NGINX
1

I dig into nginx source code, found that lots of ngx_http_cache.c
code has been commented.
Is it abandoned or… Igor plan to develop it later?

We wanna some features like lighttpd’s mod_cache and squid, but we
found that it is a problem for us to share a
a cache(file system local cache) among nginx workers, any idea?

Does Igor meet some problem on implmenting http cache module?

The mod
proxy_storehttp://wiki.codemongers.com/NginxHttpProxyModule#proxy_storewhich
like a cache module in nginx will be a useful module for you ,though
it has no some rule such as delete files in the time you made.

Yes, it was abandoned when before nginx went to a production life
in the end of 2003.

What problems do you mean ?

There are two things I do like in my first implementation:

  1. busy lock
  2. and garbage collection

so work was ssupended. However, there is big demand of nginx cache
in my company, so I will eventually implement it. I’m going to implement
many features of my Apache module mod_accel:

proxy_store is rather mirror on demand.
