[erlang-questions] Cowboy static file cahce

[J K]

Ok, I've already written a very simple cache function  (based on ets) for other usage, it just happens that you could probably use that to cache anything.

We might want to use SSL in our solution.

I guess I should do some measurements then.

NOTE: this is just html and js files so it might be that the OS caching function is sufficient.

Thanks,
Johan
