I'd also like to change the protocol URL a little bit. Since 
the timeout parameter will only be applicable to the delay

think it would be better to specify it with a query parameter instead.

Current syntax: cache://[EMAIL PROTECTED]@http://www.apache.org/
Proposed syntax: 
cache:http://www.apache.org/?cache-expires=60&cache-name=main

The protocol:subprotocol syntax is also more in line with 
well established conventions such as in jdbc for instance.

Let me know if you have any objections or comments.

   

No objections from me, but the parameters must have clear names, 
which means there shouldn't be a conflict. Imagine:

cache:http://www.apache.org/?cache-expires=60&cache-name=main&expires=500

(Dumb example, I know) But what I mean is that the real url/source
could also have parameters and it must be clear which ones are
for the cache source and which ones are for the real source,
so perhaps something like "cocoon-cache..." or perhaps better
using invalid names like "cocoon:cache=60"?
 

Yeah I had been thinkin along the same lines. I like the colon notation 
because it resembles familiar namespace notation. So I'll go with your 
latter suggestion.
