Idea #13: cache xml/rss

Written by brucenetworks the 18 Aug 09 at 19:46. Category: Publishing Plings Data. Related project: Nothing/Others. Status: New
Rationale
The data we have in plings continues to increase day by day. At some point in the future we will have to cache the information locally or
maybe even on the plings server itself. This needs careful consideration as we don't want out date or incorrect information reaching users.

Solution #1: use apache etags
Written by brucenetworks the 18 Aug 09 at 19:46.
apache has a setting that generates a hash based on a number
of definable settings such as file size file date inode number.

The client and the server send the hash to each other
if they match the server responds with a not modified
message.

This is a opt in system the client can ignore if needed.

This would save bandwidth and resources for all plings users.

Solution #2: add gzip support
Written by brucenetworks the 18 Aug 09 at 20:02.
apache can zip the document up before sending it out.
This saves bandwidth however I think the client MUST
be able to unzip. This could cause awful things to happen
if the client can't do this.
