= cacheability
A gem that makes client-side caching of HTTP requests a no-brainer. It is built upon the Rack:Cache gem from Ryan Tomayko.
Cached data can be stored in heap, file or memcached. See the Rack::Cache documentation (http://tomayko.com/src/rack-cache/) for more information.
= Installation
gem install cacheability
= Usage
require 'cacheability/restclient'
RestClient.log = 'stdout' # displays requests and status codes
resource = RestClient::CacheableResource.new( 'http://some/cacheable/resource',
:cache => { :metastore => 'file:/tmp/cache/meta',
:entitystore => 'file:/tmp/cache/body' }
)
resource.get # get from remote server, and cache if possible
...
resource.get # get from cache, if still fresh.
...
resource.get(:cache_control => 'no-cache') # explicitly tells to bypass the cache, requires rack-cache >= 0.4
...
