Re: [Treebase-devel] Treebase Dev problems

Hi Mattison,

What you suggest looks fine with me, i.e. set it to cache the following:

CacheEnable disk /treebase-web/search/downloadAStudy.html
CacheEnable disk /treebase-web/search/study/anyObjectAsRDF.rdf
CacheEnable disk /treebase-web/search/study/summary.html

but in addition, we should set it to cache these:

CacheEnable disk /treebase-web/search/downloadANexusFile.html
CacheEnable disk /treebase-web/search/downloadAMatrix.html
CacheEnable disk /treebase-web/search/downloadATree.html
CacheEnable disk /treebase-web/search/downloadAnAnalysisStep.html

But we don't want it to cache these:

http://treebase.org/treebase-web/search/studySearch.html
http://treebase.org/treebase-web/search/treeSearch.html
http://treebase.org/treebase-web/search/matrixSearch.html
http://treebase.org/treebase-web/search/taxonSearch.html

.. because the results are unstable. 

Is there any easy way that I can trigger de-caching for an object or a set of objects? For example, it is not unusual for someone to upload data to TreeBASE, trigger it to have the data released to the public, and then suddenly recant and ask that the data be withheld. Typically, I'll just go in and toggle the status of their submission back to "private." But if we're caching everything, it might take a few months before the data are really unavailable to the public.

I suppose if I had privileges to access the cache directory I could delete the offending objects.
