Re: Streaming and a slow client

This should be a feature of mod_cache.

Incoming cached data should be written to the disk cache, but the data that is sent through downstream to the client should not be written at the same time as it is now - it should be read separately from the cached file. This way the fast backend and cache will rapidly fill the disk cache file and end the backend request, while the frontend request can be slow without being linked to the backend at all.

How will this impact performance though when the network is fast?

Graham
