My action\_cache plugin, in addition to it’s previous goodness, now has  
support for lighttpd’s x-sendfile header.

The code is here: [http://craz8.com/svn/tags/plugins/0.1.0/action\_cache](http://craz8.com/svn/tags/plugins/0.1.0/action_cache)

Check out the README for features, and how to use the x-sendfile  
functionality. I’ve only tested this with lighttpd 1.5.0 latest source

- I couldn’t get 1.4.13 to work as documented.

Checkout my blog - [http://blog.craz8.com](http://blog.craz8.com) - for some things you can do  
with the plugin that can’t be done with Rails built in action caching.

Has it got support for Apache also?
