[jira] Updated: (SHINDIG-162) Simple proxying should take advantage of the browser cache

     [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SHINDIG-162?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:all-tabpanel ]

Paul Lindner updated SHINDIG-162:
---------------------------------

    Component/s: OpenSocial - Javascript
                 Gadgets Server - Java
    Description: 
Right now even the simplest proxy request will result in a POST request to the proxy server endpoint.

This is terrible for perfromance since even cached content will not be cached at the browser level.

I propose that we change gadgets.io.makeRequest() to use GET requests wherever possible.  Especially for the _IG_FetchContent() and _IG_FetchXmlContent() cases.

We also need to modify the proxy servlet to disregard existing expires and cache-control headers.  iGoogle will override Cache-Control private and substitute Cache-Control max-age=3600

Double bonus points if this can be done this weekend !
