I need to write cache module that's not upstream based. (Long story...)
Reading through the upstream code and the proxy and fastcgi modules, it
looks fairly simple.
Just so I know I'm on the right track:
- to get something from cache I should generate a key for r->cache, try to
open file using ngx_http_file_cache_open, then "serve" it using
ngx_http_cache_send (or replicate what it does).
-to store something in cache, create a ngx_temp_file_t store my data in
there, generate a key, then call ngx_http_file_cache_update to add that file
to cache.
Is that reasonable? Any gotchas?
