Seeing thousands of files in CacheRoot that look like this: aptmpZbGOTJ This clearly seems like a bug. Could this somehow be a feature? I just can't imagine what purpose it would serve.
---------------- End original message. --------------------- Why do you think this is a bug?It looks like a temporary file name to me. I don't know the implementation details of the particular cache module you are using, but I would suspect that it uses unique temporary file names to store cached content to ensure that there is a unique name for each cached item. It really would make no sense to cache a file under its "real" name if there are multiple files with that name in multiple places under the document root.
An example where this would apply is a very common situation where you would have an index.html file under every subdirectory in your document hierarchy. By giving each cached file a unique name and mapping the unique file name to the URI, the cache module will serve the right one from the cached content.
