Good idea. > Opinions? cache search & dump functionality perhaps should be built-in? Regarding purging then there is other ideas on that, such as keeping a timestamped "purge list" which invalidates cache hits from before. Benefit is that purge operations is instant, not requiring a whole cache scan. Downside is that we somehow need (should) to keep track of a timestamp when an cached object last was evaulated against the purge list for performance reasons. Regards Henrik
