Who said caching and serving cached files should be a chore?
With Cachelicious it's easier than baking a pie, and almost as delicious as eating it. Mmmmm, pie.... drool
npm install cacheliciousvar CacheliciousFs = require('cachelicious').fs;
var fsCache = new CacheliciousFs(20971520); //20MB of cache
fsCache.createReadStream(filepath, options).pipe(destination1);
fsCache.createReadStream(filepath, {start: 2, end: 100}).pipe(destination2);
//both will stream from the same cache :)
var CacheliciousHttp = require('cachelicious').http;
//create an HTTP cache server with 20MB to serve files from the assets directory
(new CacheliciousHttp(20971520, __dirname + '/assets')).listen(9876); var connect = require('connect'),
cacheliciousConnect = require('cachelicious').connect,
http = require('http');
var app = connect()
.use(cacheliciousConnect(__dirname + '/assets', {maxCacheSize: 20971520}))
.listen(3210);Some test assets are included in the test/assets directory.
You can also try streaming video (and you should :D), like the Big Buck Bunny - http://www.bigbuckbunny.org/index.php/download/
Ranged HTTP requests are fully supported :)
