(mistakenly sent this to the poster, re-sending it here) using a Cron / Windows Scheduler job it would be trivial to write a script using the Python HTTP module to make periodic requests to your web server from the proxy server. do something like this: #------------------ import httplib conn = httplib.HTTPConnection("your proxy server address here") requestpagelist = ('index.html',....) # all the pages you want cached for page in requestpagelist: conn.request("GET", page) res = conn.getresponse() # do any other processing on the response here conn.close() #------------------ This is basically a 2 second hack of the example code from python.org for the httplib module. Setup a scheduled job (Cron for linux, Scheduler for Windows) and your pages will periodically be grabbed and cached.
