Response caching

One or more hardware storage device comprising instructions that, when executed by one or more processors of a machine, cause the machine to perform operations comprising:

• receiving, from a first client device, a first request for provision of data specified by the first request;
• creating a datastream that contains the data specified by the first request and initiating provision of the datastream to the first client device;
• creating a marker file that corresponds to the first request, existence of the marker file indicating that the provision of the datastream to the first client device is incomplete, wherein the marker file will be deleted when the provision of the data to the first client is complete;
• receiving, from a second client device, a second request for provision of data, the second request for provision of data being for data that includes or that is the same as the data specified by the first request;
• determining that the marker file exists that corresponds to provision of the data specified by the first request;
• and
• in response to the determination that said marker file exists which corresponds to the provision of the data specified by the first request, caching the data specified by the first request in a data cache.

A system comprising:

• one or more processors;
• and
• a memory storing instructions that, when executed by at least one processor among the one or more processors, cause the system to perform operations comprising:
• receiving, from a first client device, a first request for provision of data specified by the first request;
• creating a datastream that contains the data specified by the first request and initiating provision of the datastream to the first client device;
• creating a marker file that corresponds to the first request, existence of the marker file indicating that the provision of the datastream to the first client device is incomplete, wherein the marker file will be deleted when the provision of the data to the first client is complete;
• receiving, from a second client device, a second request for provision of data, the second request for provision of data being for data that includes or that is the same as the data specified by the first request;
• determining that the marker file exists that corresponds to provision of the data specified by the first request;
• and
• in response to the determination that said marker file exists which corresponds to the provision of the data specified by the first request, caching the data specified by the first request in a data cache.
