Caching services with apache's reverse proxy caching

[Richard Strub <Ri...@nasa.gov>]

Thanks for the hint about HTTP caching:
"
Another idea would be to use HTTP to invoke your service and rely on 
HTTP caching. ODE doesn't support it completely yet but if you're 
willing to help, we could give you some pointers."

Squid is the latest buzz word around here but my SA says that the only 
thing that will work for me is to use apache's reverse proxy caching. 
But to do this I need to invoke my services with HTTP GET request 
instead of how they are now: POST.

So, How do I invoke a service to make it appear as a GET request?
Thanks.

You could use a WSDL HTTP binding and define your operations as GETs. See:

http://ode.apache.org/user-guide.html#UserGuide-HTTPBindingSupport
