Cachelicious

Who said caching and serving cached files should be a chore?

With Cachelicious it's easier than baking a pie, and almost as delicious as eating it. Mmmmm, pie.... drool

Installation

npm install cachelicious

FS Cache Usage

var CacheliciousFs = require('cachelicious').fs;
var fsCache = new CacheliciousFs(20971520); //20MB of cache

fsCache.createReadStream(filepath, options).pipe(destination1);
fsCache.createReadStream(filepath, {start: 2, end: 100}).pipe(destination2);
//both will stream from the same cache :)

HTTP Server Usage

var CacheliciousHttp = require('cachelicious').http;

(new CacheliciousHttp(function  (request) {
	var filepath = '/var/www/foo/';
	if ('/' === request.url) {
		return filepath + 'index.html';
	} else if ('/teapot' === request.url) {
		return 418; //generate a 418
	} else {
		filepath += request.url;
	}
	return filepath;
}, 209715200)).start();	

Some test assets are included in the test/assets directory.

You can also try streaming video (and you should :D), like the Big Buck Bunny - http://www.bigbuckbunny.org/index.php/download/
