I thought I should show the case here, before submitting any issue, because
I'm not sure if it's really a bug.
I'm using web2py with multiple apps, each app served by a specific domain.
For this, I'm using parameter-based router, and I've set
exclusive_domain=True (with this, the app name is removed from the url).
All the apps have been caching in RAM some returned htmls, like this:
@cache.action(time_expire=30, cache_model=cache.ram, session=False,
vars=False, public=True)
def index():
...
return response.render()
Up to here, all good. Now, if I change to Redis, all the apps start seeing
**the same cache**, and this is what happens: I hit the domain of the first
app, the returned HTML is cached. If I hit any of the other domains within
the next 30 seconds (time_expire=30), the returned HTML is the one cached
by the first hit to the first app. It's like cache.redis isn't
distinguishing between applications.
I was able to "solve the problem" with any of the following:
* Adding a prefix to @cache.action, somethink like
prefix=request.application (not a real solution, because it would be
necessary to modify all the code where cache.action is used)
* Explicitly including the appname in the url (neither a real solution,
the idea is to remove the appname from url and serve it from an specific
domain)
I looked into the file web2py/gluon/contrib/redis_cache.py, and I see this
from the line 92 (inside the __init__ method of the RedisClient class):
self.prefix = "w2p:%s:" % (self.request.application)
if self.request:
app = self.request.application
else:
app = ''
I also checked cache.redis.stats(), and I noticed this portion of the stats:
w2p_keys:w2p:demo:___cache_set:23870125_expire_in_sec:38L
w2p:demo:___cache_set:23870126_expire_in_sec:98L
w2p:demo:___cache_set:23870127_expire_in_sec:158L
w2p:demo:___cache_set_expire_in_sec:None
w2p:demo:f03addd369f2c5d060faf9cfae3e5c61_expire_in_sec:19L
On thing I noticed is that the key of the form "w2p:appname" shows
**always** the name of the first installed app (excluding admin app).
Either specifying the appname in the url or not, the key is always
generated using the name of the first installed app. Even if I do a
flushall in redis and hit for the first time the application X, when I
check those stats, I see always that the key was generated using the name
of the first installed app.
Is this the expected behaviour?
