Thanks... this seems like the sane approach. > And, to answer your question, in that setup, if your Objective-C web server > properly > sets the caching headers for static data, Apache (if you enable mod_cache > etc) will > automatically cache it for you. Well actually I doubt that will work in our particular case, since the the decision on whether to use the cache or not, is dynamic and the caches should be discarded quickly in most cases. But maybe we just have to dig into mod_cache a bit ... but it's an optimization since we may get by with extracting headers and content from a cached GSMimeDocument and feeding it to the new instance supplied by the call as Richard suggested. It's a little overhead but since the caching of the dynamic content is not used that often, we'll probably get a way with that.
