Is cache shared?

Is cache shared?

Cache sharing allows each cache to share its contents with the other caches and avoid duplicate caching. It is common for a point of presence on the web to have more traffic than a single server can handle. Cache sharing solves these problems by allowing each cache to share its contents with the other caches.

Who sets cache-control?

All caches have a set of rules that they use to determine when to serve a representation from the cache, if it’s available. Some of these rules are set in the protocols (HTTP 1.0 and 1.1), and some are set by the administrator of the cache (either the user of the browser cache, or the proxy administrator).

How is data cached in a distributed application?

Distributed applications typically implement either or both of the following strategies when caching data: Using a private cache, where data is held locally on the computer that’s running an instance of an application or service. Using a shared cache, serving as a common source that can be accessed by multiple processes and machines.

Which is an example of cache control private?

For me, a more concrete example of Cache-Control: private is that proxy servers (which typically have many users) won’t cache it. It is meant for the end user, and no one else. FYI, the RFC makes clear that this does not provide security. It is about showing the correct content, not securing content.

Where does the caching take place in a server?

Server-side caching is done by the process that provides the business services that are running remotely. The most basic type of cache is an in-memory store. It’s held in the address space of a single process and accessed directly by the code that runs in that process.
