I have spoken at conferences about our architecture and mentioned our
caching proxy. I have wanted to open source it for a long time. I
finally got the time.
http://code.google.com/p/memproxy/
MemProxy is a simple (but very powerful) PHP script that proxies web
requests and stores the contents in memcached. By being a full proxy, it
allows the proxy servers to avoid heavy application level code. This
makes it very fast and efficient. It also allows for a very simple set
up on dedicated proxy servers.
Keep in mind that up until now, it has only been used by dealnews.com.
So, YMMV. I am sure there is something it could do better. I am open
to any and all recommendations. (Using {insert product here} instead is
not what I mean. =)
Also, you can read the short FAQ for other possible obvious questions.
http://code.google.com/p/memproxy/wiki/FAQ
There is a Google Group for it http://groups.google.com/group/memproxy.
I hope someone finds this useful.
