Hi, I am still pretty new to mod_perl and have only really dabbled with a few small applications that I created. I am now looking to build something quite specific and was wondering if anyones know of anything similar to what I want to do so or whether they have any pointers as to mod_perl's suitability for what I want to do.
The scenario: I have a large web-site that is largely database driven. Many of the pages are accessed frequently yet are only modified on average once a day. The site is written in a variety of technologies including PHP and Perl. I wanted to develop a caching proxy that will return a cached page instead of passing control to one of the PHP scripts or Perl scripts that normally generate the pages. The web site is mainly accessed through HTTP GET requests rather than POST requests and the resultant page will be the same each time if given the same GET string. Can I use mod_perl's proxy capabilities to cache the generated contents of the the HTML page made by the PHP script? One extra requirement is that some of the pages need authentication which is cookie based. I would need to check the cookie against a database to see if the caller is authenticated to access the particular page. Has anyone done/seen anything similar implemented in mod_perl? Thanks for your help, Abdul-Wahid
