Cache page, modifying the output

["Insurance Squared Inc." <gc...@insurancesquared.com>]

We're putting a php front end on Nuche, have it working for the search 
results page by grabbing an xml feed from nuche.  However the cache link 
is still calling nuche directly, and my developer indicated that the 
cache page doesn't seem to be available via xml.

What's the best way for us to take control over the output displayed 
when the cache link is clicked from the search results?  (we don't need 
to modify the actual cached page, just the overall layout - like the top 
part of the page that says 'nuche cache').  Do we need to modify the 
nuche code directly?  Or parse the html, strip out the non-cache text 
and insert our own?  Neither seem ideal to me.

Alternatively, do we really need to display the cache link?  Not sure if 
there's a reason for the end user to see this.

General suggestions welcome (we're happy to dig out the specifics 
ourselves :) ).

Thanks.

If you don't have a requirement to show the "cache" link, don't  
bother. Then your problem is solved.

Otherwise, the cleanest way to approach this is to write a new  
servlet that returns only the cached page, minus Nutch branding. Have  
your PHP "cache" page call this similar to the OpenSearchServlet.  
That way you can still leave all of the JSP stuff disabled in your  
Tomcat instance.
