Re: HTTP caching

For what it's worth, this would be very nice. I always use my own custom HTTP handling for this reason (and related reasons, such as keep-alive.) However, it's also very complicated; the cached data has to be managed, has to be stored somewhere... and at what point do you add cookie management? -[Unknown] -------- Original Message --------

Hello all, I couldn't find if this is already implemented somehow. But I thought it would be a nice idea to let the PHP http streams understand HTTP caching. This could come in particularly handy when PHP is used to consume REST-based webservices. (Perhaps in the future also for SOAP 1.2 GET requests.) People could simply take control of caching by setting the Expires header of their service. Cheers, Bart
