web2py provides server-side caching capability, but it sounds like you want the content to be cached by the browser. Browser caching is controlled by the response headers. By default, the response headers for static files are set so the browser will cache, but not for pages served dynamically by web2py. I suppose you could set the response headers for your Ajax requests to cache -- check out some online resources for the appropriate settings (e.g., http://www.mnot.net/cache_docs/). You can set web2py response headers by adding to response.headers, which is a dictionary:
response.headers['Header-Name-Goes-Here'] = 'header-value-goes-here' Another option might be to cache the Ajax requests using Javascript (but I guess the cache will only survive while the user remains on a given page): http://davidwalsh.name/cache-ajax.
