Created February 15, 2012 19:15 — forked from antirez/sinatra_redis_cache.rb
the simplest Redis caching for Sinatra -- not even tested... consider this code just an hint
# This is just an hint for a simple Redis caching "framework" using Sinatra
# A friend of mine asked for something like that, after checking the first two gems realized there was
# a lot of useless complexity (IMHO). That's the result.
#
# The use_cache parameter is useful if you want to cache only if the user is authenticated or
# something like that, so you can do cache_url(ttl,User.logged_in?, ...)
