REQUEST-AGNOSTIC CACHING FOR A DATA RESOURCE COLLECTION

摘要

Embodiments herein include a method performed by an intermediate proxy node via which client devices request data resources from a data resource server. The data resources are organized into different data resource collections. The method includes receiving a request for a subset of a data resource collection and, responsive to receiving such a request, determining that the collection is not stored in a request-agnostic cache maintained by the proxy node. Responsive to this determination, the method further entails retrieving the collection from the data resource server. The method then includes extracting the requested subset from the retrieved data resource collection and selectively returning that subset as a response to the request. Finally, the method entails storing the data resource collection in the request-agnostic cache for serving other requests for data resources in the data resource collection, including a request for a different subset of the data resource collection.
