Wingate Caching?

[sawi]

Hi

i've some Question about Wingate Caching.

for reference : i'm running Wingate on Pentium DualCore 2GHz / 2GB RAM / 160GB HDD

Q1. Is't any effect if i set 2048MB (2GB) or more for Wingate Caching? Any effect to performance, cause to index/find in big cache size?
***If i set wingate cache size to 5GB~10GB, it's ok, cause i've big free space in my hdd :D

Q2. Is't Wingate Cache a big JPG image (or any type of image file .gif/.png/etc)? What type of file Wingate will cache?
***Cause i saw Wingate didn't cache some .jpg image, that image is from photobucket, that image size 150kb, but wingate cache smaller image from imageshack and from other website.

Note : I monitor from gatekeeper ; if some image file is taken from caching, gatekeeper will show - url add - HTTP/1.1 200 Document from cache

Thanks

Hi

WinGate caches anything it's "allowed" to cache. This is controlled normally by headers in the request and response, specifically Cache-Control headers.

You can find out more about caching and what may cause something to be cached or not by reading the specs for caching

The latest draft for these specs are here,

http://www.ietf.org/id/draft-ietf-httpb ... che-07.txt

the original was published in RFC2616.

How about maximum size of cache can be set to Wingate?
Is't any performance issue if I set 5GB or more for Wingate Cache size?
And for indexing, Wingate using itself index system, or using windows indexing?

Thanks :)

Hi

We find that performance is more affected by the number of files in a folder more than size. However we've got 50,000 files on a P4 3GHz and it's running fine. So setting a 2GB cache size shouldn't matter.

WinGate keeps the index in memory (URL to file).
