Abstract

Systems and methods which provide automatic management of cached content are disclosed. These systems and methods may provide a cache manager which is capable of updating content in a cache without receiving a request from a user. Content may be stored in a cache along with associated metadata. Based upon this metadata, the request which resulted in a particular piece of cached content may be regenerated. This regenerated request can be dynamically evaluated and content responsive generated. This newly generated content can be used to replace the previously cached content. Using these systems and methods content in a cache can be automatically managed and dynamically updated.
