Yes. The code is essentially a simple HTTP client, and it works right on account of the logic at the server. The server sets an ETag header when it sends a file, and on further requests replies with 304 Not Modified if the client knows the current ETag value, or with 200 OK if the value is stale. For example, running the date_index_formatter.py example with verbose=debug and an empty cache directory: ViewVCCachedServer: files listed in cache.pck: set([]) ViewVCCachedServer: files in cache directory: set([]) ViewVCCachedServer: retrieving http://github.com/jkseppan/mpl-sample-data/raw/master/aapl.csv ViewVCCachedServer: received response 200: OK loading /Users/jks/.matplotlib/sample_data/aapl.csv Next run: ViewVCCachedServer: files listed in cache.pck: set(['/Users/jks/.matplotlib/sample_data/aapl.csv']) ViewVCCachedServer: files in cache directory: set(['/Users/jks/.matplotlib/sample_data/cache.pck', '/Users/jks/.matplotlib/sample_data/aapl.csv']) ViewVCCachedServer: retrieving http://github.com/jkseppan/mpl-sample-data/raw/master/aapl.csv ViewVCCachedServer: received response 304: Not Modified ViewVCCachedServer: reading data file from cache file "/Users/jks/.matplotlib/sample_data/aapl.csv" loading /Users/jks/.matplotlib/sample_data/aapl.csv Then, after committing a new version in the repository: ViewVCCachedServer: files listed in cache.pck: set(['/Users/jks/.matplotlib/sample_data/aapl.csv']) ViewVCCachedServer: files in cache directory: set(['/Users/jks/.matplotlib/sample_data/cache.pck', '/Users/jks/.matplotlib/sample_data/aapl.csv']) ViewVCCachedServer: retrieving http://github.com/jkseppan/mpl-sample-data/raw/master/aapl.csv ViewVCCachedServer: received response 200: OK loading /Users/jks/.matplotlib/sample_data/aapl.csv -- Jouni K.
