Hi,

I'm after some cache expiry that actually expires at a given point in time. This seems to be missing from L8.6 and currently nothing expires=85full stop.

I've had a look through Cache.lasso in LassoLibraries and it seems the -expires parameter of [cache] and [cache_object] doesn't work.

From inside the cache_exists tag the following doesn't really make much sense.

// True if no expiration is specified.
!local_defined('expires') || (integer(#expires) <= 0) ? return(true);

Looks like a bug for a feature that was never fully implimented. Looking at that, I'd probably say better not to use -expires at the moment.

I know that the cache tags were only partially working in earlier versions of Lasso, so were rebuilt by Lassosoft with the help of Johan Solve. Has anyone got a version that works with the -expires tag?

I'm confused of the intended function of these tags as in previous versions siteAdmin used to contain an option for Cache Expiration - since been removed. This is still visible in the _Cache_Preference global, but not available in siteAdmin.

map: (_cache_totalstoragelimit)=(52428800), (_cache_enable)=(Y), (_cache_expire)=(432000), (_cache_limit)=(32768), (_cache_expirefrequency)=(hourly), (_cache_host)=(N)

The cache tags currently don't call on _cache_expire or make use of any expires when cache_exists is called. I fear this was replaced in favour of the cache_maintenance tag and it's garbage collection for reasons that the -expires parameter wouldn't previously work.

Does anyone have any pointers or suggestions? Am I looking at rebuilding the tags to honour expiration, if even possible.

Adam
