Hello, This is my first post here, so first and foremost, I would like to say I have fallen in love with nginx. 🙂 This is the most beautiful server I had ever seen before. Thank you so much for providing such a wonderful C server. 🙂 I totally love it. 🙂 Despite searching the internet (mainly github/stackoverflow/google ) for it, I did not find any clue(s) as to how will I store the contents in the memcache. What I wanted to try out is something below: At the start the FastCGI process (written using FastCGI++ using C++ course), I want to populate the memcache [either NginxHttpMemcachedModule or NginxHttpMemcModule] with, say, 1000 thumbnails. Please, can anyone here just point to me how can I do that? I know it must be really easy but I have spent quite a lot of time trying to do this. PS: I did find example/article regarding this on Internet but that code is in PHP.

I am mainly looking for equivalents of following two PHP calls in C/C++ on that link (please search on that page) : 1. memcache\_connect 2. memcache\_add Thank you very much in advance and please pardon if this sounds like a basic question.

Thank you Sergey for your reply. Also, thanks for the link for the libmemcache. But I wanted to know how can I access the NginxHttpMemcachedModule or NginxHttpMemcModule cache (to add entries into it) from a fastCGI process? Or, are you trying to indicate that both of the above modules use libmemcache ? I am kind of confused here. ☹ Apologies for my extremely poor knowledge in this area!!
