Hi, I am a newbie.
I have a use case where the requests are limited, i.e. there is a set of unique requests, and all their responses can be stored in the cache. I don't want the client to be exposed to the latency of the origin server. I want to refresh the entries of the cache in the background periodically. My company has a plugin that serves stale content while revalidating in the background. So I could just have a cron job outside the traffic server, that periodically makes the requests to the traffic server. Then content will be only as old as the period of the cron job. Is there a way to write a plugin that would refresh the entries in the background periodically? I have thought of writing a plugin that triggers itself after sleeping for a time period, but I am not sure how it will affect the traffic server, or if it will work at all. Thanks, Ganesh
