Hi, In the process of rolling out shindig in production we found that we¹re not getting the benefits of iGoogle¹s caching. Thus we¹re seeing much larger backend requests.
Here¹s a patch I cranked out to help us out for the moment. It adds a REFRESH_INTERVAL param for makeRequest(). If present we use a cacheable GET request instead of a POST request. The JsonServlet is also modified to honor a request parameter, which is uses to set proper cache control headers. Any extra eyes on this for the weekend would be appreciated. Later on we can figure out how this might get folded into the spec...
