HTTP Cache

The SmartMEDIA HTTP Cache (smhttpcache) service is intended for the prolonged storing of files in RAM with their simultaneous return over the HTTP protocol to a number of client apps. It is necessary for the low-latency streaming. The service does not support any authorization, so it is recommended to install it together with nginx or another web server.
