21095 - about:cache and logging cache requests.

Status: VERIFIED FIXED

(Core :: Networking: Cache, enhancement, P2)

Description

[Scott Furman]

The cache API defines nsISimpleEnumerator methods for iterating over all the
cache entries.

It should be relatively simple to create an RDF tree view of the cache contents
that one can browse, similar to the bookmarks sidebar.

Comment 1

[leger]

Bulk move of all Cache (to be deleted component) bugs to new Networking: Cache
component.

Comment 2

[Warren Harris]

Assigning fur's cache bugs to Gordon. He can split them up with davidm.

Comment 3

[Warren Harris]

We should implement the about:cache handler eventually. It would be nice if it
produced an HTTP-INDEX listing so that the results went into a tree view
widget. That would allow you to sort the columns, etc.

Moving to M17 which is now considered part of beta2.

Comment 6

[davidm]

Reassign

Comment 7

[leger]

Putting on [nsbeta2-] radar. Not critical to beta2.

David has left netscape and [e-mail] is an invalid email address.
Assigning his five remaining bugs to gagan to find a new owner for them. Thanks

Comment 9

[Dawn Endico]

oops i didn't actually reassign to gagan last time. sorry for the spam

Comment 10

[Gagan]

removing nsbeta2 and adding nsbeta3, and assigning to neeti.

Comment 11

[Gagan]

this blocks qa from verifying if an object is in the cache. putting on + radar. 

Comment 12

[Tom Everingham]

gagan, in addition to about:cache we should have about:image-cache and 
about:memory-cache (or something similar to these).   This would make most of 
the existing cache tests useful.

Comment 13

[Gagan]

actually the about:cache will contain info about the memory cache. But the image 
cache would have to be a separate issue. 

Comment 14

[Gagan]

Attachment: My first cut of about:cache stuff.

[Gagan]

rpotts sez he is working on this, so I have attached what I had done and would
let him carry on from here... Thx. rick. 

Comment 16

[rpotts (gone)]

I've checked in a first pass at about:cache.

it's not turned on yet though :-(

minusing per PDT rules.

Comment 18

[rpotts (gone)]

I really think that this should be nsbeta3+ since it is a *TOTAL* blocker for 
QAing the cache (both disk and memory).

Without cache logging there is no quantifiable way to determine if the cache is 
actually working!

I have all of the code for about:cache already checked in..  I just need to 
register the 'about:cache' component with the component manager.

Comment 19

[Gagan]

I agree with Rick. Making it a plus.
