A simple transparent caching proxy for GET requests.
- git clone git://github.com/sturnquest/proxy.git
- cd proxy
- bundle
- rspec test
- cd app
- ruby transparent_proxy.rb
- in a browser open http://localhost:2000/proxied/one
By default the proxy is configured to hit a known end point. You can change the end point in the proxy.json file. Make sure the configured end is not compressing the response (e.g. a header with Content-Encoding:gzip).
By default the cache will only cache responses with a known text content-type.
For live testing beyond the specs open up 3 separate browser windows with the following urls:
http://localhost:2000/proxied/one http://localhost:2000/proxied/two http://localhost:2000/proxied/three
As you refresh each of the above browser windows two will remain cached and the 3rd will not be cached. You can change the number of allowed cached items in cache.json
