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\_store[http://wiki.codemongers.com/NginxHttpProxyModule#proxy\_store](http://wiki.codemongers.com/NginxHttpProxyModule#proxy_store)which 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. > 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? What problems do you mean ? > Does Igor meet some problem on implmenting http cache module? 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: [http://web.archive.org/web/20030610033841/dapi.chaz.ru/articles/plain/en/mod\_accel.xml](http://web.archive.org/web/20030610033841/dapi.chaz.ru/articles/plain/en/mod_accel.xml) ---
