ETags: a pretty sweet feature of HTTP 1.1

HTTP caching review

HTTP provides two ways for servers to control client-side caching of page components:

  • freshness may be based on a date or a token whose meaning is app-specific
  • whether or not the client needs to confirm the cached version is up-to-date with the server

This breaks down as follows:

  • Cache locally and don't check before using.

Build your own private, encrypted, open-source Dropbox-esque sync folder

Prerequisites:

  • One or more clients running a UNIX-like OS. Examples are given for Ubuntu 12.04 LTS, although all software components are available for other platforms as well (e.g. OS X). YMMV
  • A cheap Ubuntu 12.04 VPS with storage. I recommend Backupsy, they offer 250GB storage for $5/month. Ask Google for coupon codes.

Software components used:

  • Unison for file synchronization
  • EncFS for folder encryption
