Abstract
A session-aware system and method for caching and serving data. A session-aware cache system stores data that may be designated or restricted for service to registered sessions or data requests that include session identifiers. A request for a restricted set of cached data that omits a session identifier is passed to an origin server (e.g., web server, data server) so that a session may be established and a session identifier assigned. The session-aware cache system may determine whether a session identifier of a data request is near expiration. If so, the request may be passed to the origin server so that the session lifetime may be extended.
