mod_cache(4gx)

🎀 Name 🎀

Okay bestie, meet mod_cache — this is the mod_cache(4gx) page, and it’s literally the HTTP handler for serving objects from a local filesystem. That’s the whole main-character job. 💅

🦋 Description 🦋

mod_cache serves local files when certain URIs are requested. Simple as that, no cap. But lowkey important, fr fr: mod_fastcgi(4gx) has a table of its own and higher precedence — so it wins when it wants to, periodt. 👑

🌸 Configuration directives 🌸

This component shares http.cfg. See http(8gx) for the config lore, iykyk. 🫶

✨ URI map ✨

The filemap that specifies which URIs to handle is cache.txt, and it gets searched for in config_file_path. The usual location is /etc/gromox/cache.txt. Slay. 🗺️

Each line in this file consists of 3 columns separated by whitespace:

• Domain or wildcard to match the HTTP Host: header with.
• URI path (prefix) to match.
• Target file/directory within the filesystem.

If the file has no lines, no documents will be served this way. If the file is absent however, a set of default entries will be used. So like, empty file = silence, missing file = fallback magic. 🪄

🍓 Default entries 🍓

• /web /usr/share/grommunio-web
• /EWS/Messages.xsd /usr/share/gromox/Messages.xsd
• /EWS/Services.wsdl /usr/share/gromox/Services.wsdl
• /EWS/Types.xsd /usr/share/gromox/Types.xsd

🎀 Files 🎀

• config_file_path/cache.txt: URI map specifying which paths are served.
