#28316 — How to Cache a page for 24 hours in Javascript

I need to use Javascript to implement caching.
I am using Apache as my web server on a CentOS linux server.
I am using PHP for dynamic content in my web pages.

-I need to ensure my website pages are cached for 24 hours after they are first  loaded.
-I need to ensure my website images are cached for one week after they are first  loaded.
-I need to ensure my website videos are cached for one week after they are first  loaded.


What is the recommended way to do this?

Any feedback/recommendations links to best practices would be appreciated.

Why Javascript? 
You mean caching on the server?

Why "need" and not just "want"? 
Is this a school or other learning assignment?

So why not PHP on your server?

"First loaded"?
You still mean cashed on the server?

Whose recomendation are you referring to?

"best" being a dirty word in Qs like these.

Hi Evertjan,
I need to cache on the client NOT on the server.
It's a corporate mobile application with lots of files/video content that I am working on.
The content is pretty much static daily for each group within a large department.

Let the browser do the caching; don't do it yourself (unless you have
very specific reasons).

[please do not top post on usenet]

I suspect you mean browser with "client"?
 
Browser cashing has a special meaning, 
that is just for the benefit of a quick reloading of a page.
[yes, I know browser-security can be swithed off, 
please know what you are doing!]

Perhaps it is that you want to "backup" a website by "catching" all new 
content for a while [days/weeks]?

I would not use a browser for that, as a browser is made secure by NOT being 
able to have access to your HDs.

Better use wscript/jscript on your pc for that, 
using Xmlhttp, Scripting.FileSystemObject and perhaps a database.
Javascript can be used there.

Or, on an ASP platform on a different server than your PHP-one,
also using Xmlhttp, Scripting.FileSystemObject and perhaps a database.
You can do that with serverside Javascript.

Both can be triggered to do this job say several times a day.

"static daily"??

Just use PHP for this and set the appropriate headers.

This is off-topic in this forum.

Hi Michael,
Why the round trip each time the page is loaded?
Engineers access the same page multiple times per appointment.
Why not store the page on the client for the rest of the day?

That's not how caching works.

Set the appropriate headers from the server and let every point in between do its job.

I think you need to read up a little on the mechanics of caching (and 
some browser-bugs).
You can start in many places, so here is a random one:

http://stackoverflow.com/questions/4480304/how-to-set-http-headers-for-cache-control

For me, the standard text on Web caching still is

<https://www.mnot.net/cache_docs/>

I notice that it has been redesigned since my last visit, and is better 
readable now.

That page surely looks like a very decent in-depth explanation.
Bookmarked!

Thank you.
