Can ats serve some files on its own?

[Unknown User <kn...@gmail.com>]

Can ats serve some files (static html files/plain text files) on its own,
without needing an origin server to serve it?
If it can not directly do that, would it be possible to add a file to the
cache to serve it?

Thanks,
Super

If you are just trying to satisfy your curiosity, then this should be
doable with the lua plugin.

Either by itself or coupled with an external lua module(lua rocks)

In response to what others have said, we would really like for someone to implement an fcgi plugin for ATS :).

no, it is a proxy by definiton and not a hybrid like httpd with all the 
drawbacks of trying to handle every usecase

Apart from error page templates, there's nothing that does this. You could write your own server intercept plugin to do it, but it's probably less trouble to just run a static origin server.

You can use the PUSH method to insert an object into the cache <https://docs.trafficserver.apache.org/en/latest/admin/http-proxy-caching.en.html?pushing-content-into-the-cache#pushing-content-into-the-cache>
