Hi Everyone,

I am implementing a cache control policy on all our web servers and was curious 
if anyone ever uses haproxy to handle cache control.

On IIS we are using Etags, Last-Modified and Cache Control maxage to force 
client browsers to check the etag hash.  If the etag value has changed get the 
file as normal if it has not changed give a 304 response to the browser to 
inform it to use its cached file since it has not changed.

Now to haproxy...


1.       Is there a documented way to read headers and manage the cache on the 
proxy side to give a 304 response to client browsers and avoid unnecessary 
calls to our backend web servers?

I'm looking for some very general guidance as to what haproxy offers to help 
manage our file cache.

Thanks
