Hi,
I'm caching for a short period of time a large number of delayed
stock market data web service requests which ordinarily were being
requested from the upstream data provider every time by the app
layer. I have various refresh_patterns stipulated for the different
types of requests, i.e. data that compiles a 3 month chart can be
kept for several hours , a price quote for just a few minutes etc.
Whilst the volume of traffic to our site does drop after market hours
and over the weekend, we would benefit hugely if I could invoke
different refresh patterns after market close and over the weekend
since I know at that point the data can be pulled from cache until
the market next opens.
Is there a way to do this within acl or refresh_pattern or do I need
to have two squid configs and cron a --reconfigure at the relevant
times?
Sadly no. refresh_pattern is purely regex based at present. ACL provides
time-sensitive matches but cannot be used there yet.
Ideas and patches to convert refresh_pattern to an ACL based directive
are welcome.
