SYSTEMS, COMPUTER-READABLE MEDIA AND COMPUTER-IMPLEMENTED METHODS FOR AUTOMATED, DYNAMIC CAPACITY PLANNING USING HTTP RESPONSE HEADER FIELDS

摘要

A system, computer-readable media and computer-implemented method for automated, dynamic capacity planning using HTTP response header fields. The computer-implemented method includes: automatically determining a server workload statistic relating to operation of a server, the server being configured to serve a content item in response to HTTP-formatted requests; automatically determining an expiration value based at least in part on the workload server statistic; automatically updating a configuration file corresponding to the content item with the expiration value; receiving a request for the content item from a requesting device; automatically accessing the configuration file and generating a HTTP-formatted response header incorporating the expiration value; and, automatically transmitting the HTTP-formatted response header and the content item in response to the request.
