Question: Would this work with hdhomerun for cache/cdn? about cache-handler HOT 2 CLOSED

Hi @wazerstar you can define the cache directive in any blocks you want to cache.

from cache-handler.

As explained in https://caddy.community/t/add-userinput-in-url-in-between-url-content/15233/17, the answer is somewhere between "no" and "probably not".

The cache plugin is specifically tasked with buffering the entire response and storing it in a cache to save from having to rebuilt the response for subsequent requests.

You're talking about streams, which can't be buffered. That is fundamentally incompatible with response caching, because there's no predictable "end" to the response, since it's a continuous stream.

What you're asking would require a lot of very specific code and handling on both the client and server to deal with. It's not really something that could be done "generally" since it requires understanding of the underlying data being streamed to be done right. The proxy would need to keep a list of streams in memory and somehow "connect" the request to one of the existing streams.

So yeah, you'll have to write your own Caddy plugin if you absolutely need this (or pay someone to do so), but I don't think you'll find a existing solution at this point because your requirement is very unique and specialized.
