discovery-cache

Hi,

Can you explain how to use the discovery cache. I see that the cache is not at all used, because while there is a Get in verify.go, there is no Put in the code anywhere. Am I supposed to do the Put myself?

In verify.go - control goes to and discovered is always nil
168 discovered := cache.Get(endpoint)
Then it returns from this block, but I don't see cache.Put anywhere in code.
197 if ep == endpoint {
Are we supposed to Put the discovered url at this point, or do this externally? An example will help greatly.
I am sorry if the question is unclear, and i haven't fully understood the code or protocol, so it may be my flawed understanding, apologies in advance.

From what I've gathered the Put call is currently missing from the library code. I haven't had the time yet to analyse the spec properly in order to submit a pull request. However it's on my todo list and I hope to get this done sometime during this week.

So you can probably use the library under the assumption that the discovery cache is updated by the library.

Hi,
Yeah, the specs aren't really clear as to when put things in the cache, but they say something like "if [this] has not been previously discovered", implying the use of a cache.

Like xStorm said, you can use it assuming the library is updating it. When this is fixed, the library should update the cache for you.

As you can see @xStrom implemented this now, so closing this issue. Thanks for pointing that out!
