  • Response caching
    Patent number: 10616291
    Abstract: A machine receives, from a first client device, a first request for provision of data that is specified by the first request. The machine creates a datastream that contains the data and initiates provision of the datastream to the first client device. The machine creates a marker file that corresponds to the first request, and existence of the marker file indicates that the provision of the datastream to the first client device is incomplete. While the marker file exists, if the machine receives, from a second client device, a second request for provision of the same data, the machine caches the now twice-requested data in a data cache, and the machine may provide the data from the data cache to the second client device. This can avoid one or more retrieval operations or other preparations for providing the data to the second client device.
