8.5 HTTP cache

127

TTL

TTL of objects matching with the particular URL.

The 0 days, 0 hours option means that objects will not be cached.

Cache status and administration

WinRoute allows monitoring of the HTTP cache status as well as manipulation with objects in

the cache (viewing and removing).

Note: In older versions of WinRoute, these features were included in the web interface whereas

since 6.3.0 they are integrated in the Administration Console.

At the bottom of the Cache tab, basic status information is provided such as the current

cache size occupied and efficiency of the cache. The efficiency status stands for number of

objects kept in the cache (it is not necessary to download these objects from the server) in

proportion to the total number of queries (since the startup of the WinRoute Firewall Engine).

The efficiency of the cache depends especially on user behavior and habits (if users visit certain

webpages regularly, if any websites are accessed by multiple users, etc.) and, in a manner, it

can be also affected by the configuration parameters described above. If the efficiency of

the cache is permanently low (less than 5 per cent), it is recommended to change the cache

configuration.

HTTP cache status information

Use the Manage cache content... button to open a dialog where objects kept in cache can be

viewed, searched and/or removed.

To view objects in cache, specify the searched object in the URL entry. Objects can be specified

either by an absolute URL (without protocol) — e.g. www.kerio.com/image/menu.gif or

as a URL substring with * (substituting any number of any symbols and characters) and ?
(question mark substitutes a single character or symbol) wildcard symbols.
