Thanks for the conditional_get tip. When looking at the api for stale? and fresh_when, I see that these methods are part of action controller. I would like to use this methodology to determine if an rss feed should be updated or not. The validation process all resides in the Feed model and a related module, so when I try to use the stale? method, I get an undefined method error. Would it be better to recreate the source code in my module, or is this the first indication that what I am trying to do is going about it the wrong way? I would very much like to keep the process in a module, as I am using a template pattern to define several different caching methods for experiments on speed and agility.
Any suggestions or advice you may have on this subject would be greatly appreciated! Thanks!
