Identifying content files in a cache using a response-based cache index

Abstract:

A first device may receive a content request from a second device. The content request may include a dynamic network address and a request for a content file. The first device may determine that the dynamic network address is not included in a first index; determine one or more response values associated with the content file; determine that the one or more response values are included in a second index when the one or more response values match one or more response values included in the second index; generate an association between the dynamic network address and the second index to map the dynamic network address to the second index and to the content file based on determining that the one or more response values are included in the second index; and provide the content file to the second device.
