StaticResource?

This is my go-to for HTTP caching: http://www.mnot.net/cache_docs/

So, there's options here:

Add Last-Modified: headers on outbound responses, and respond to If-Modified-Since: headers with a 304 if appropriate
Add ETags: headers on outbound responses and respond to If-None-Match: headers with a 304 if appropriate
Both of the above.

Which did you have in mind? or, something else?

@pjz Both. Don't you think?

So in reading the link above, there's a library cgi_buffer that claims to handle this caching stuff automatically.

@colindean For better or for worse, Aspen isn't a CGI app, so afaict that library won't help us. Maybe we can use their code as an example?

Implemented in www.gittip.com ; should pull it from there.
