    <para>
        There are two kinds of backends: standard ones and extended ones. Of course, extended
        backends offer more features.

            This backend works in concert with <classname>Zend_Cache_Frontend_Capture</classname>
            (the two must be used together) to save the output from requests as static files. This

                    <classname>Zend_Cache_Frontend_Capture</classname> operates
                    by registering a callback function to be called
                    when the output buffering it uses is cleaned. In order for this to operate
                    correctly, it must be the final output buffer in the request. To guarantee
                    this, the output buffering used by the Dispatcher <emphasis>must</emphasis> be
                    disabled by calling <classname>Zend_Controller_Front</classname>'s
                    <methodname>setParam()</methodname> method, for example,
                    <command>$front->setParam('disableOutputBuffering', true);</command> or adding
                    "resources.frontcontroller.params.disableOutputBuffering = true"
                    to your bootstrap configuration file (assumed <acronym>INI</acronym>) if using

        <para>
            The benefits of this cache include a large throughput increase since
            all subsequent requests return the static file and don't need any
            dynamic processing. Of course this also has some disadvantages. The
            only way to retry the dynamic request is to purge the cached file
            from elsewhere in the application (or via a cronjob if timed). It
            is also restricted to single-server applications where only one
            filesystem is used. Nevertheless, it can be a powerful means of
            getting more performance without incurring the cost of a proxy on
            single machines.

        <para>
            Before describing its options, you should note this needs some
            changes to the default <filename>.htaccess</filename> file in order for requests to be
            directed to the static files if they exist. Here's an example of
            a simple application caching some content, including two specific
            feeds which need additional treatment to serve a correct
            Content-Type header:

            The above assumes static files are cached to the directory
            <filename>./public/cached</filename>. We'll cover the option setting this location,
            "public_dir", below.
        </para>

        <para>
            Due to the nature of static file caching, the backend class offers two additional
            methods: <methodname>remove()</methodname> and
            <methodname>removeRecursively()</methodname>. Both accept a request
            <acronym>URI</acronym>, which when mapped to the "public_dir" where static files are
            cached, and has a pre-stored extension appended, provides the name of either a static
            file to delete, or a directory path to delete recursively. Due to the
            restraints of <classname>Zend_Cache_Backend_Interface</classname>, all
            other methods such as <methodname>save()</methodname> accept an ID which
            is calculated by applying <methodname>bin2hex()</methodname> to a request
            <acronym>URI</acronym>.
        </para>

        <para>
            Given the level at which static caching operates, static file caching is addressed for
            simpler use with the <classname>Zend_Controller_Action_Helper_Cache</classname> action
            helper. This helper assists in setting which actions of a controller to cache, with what
            tags, and with which extension. It also offers methods for purging the cache by request
            <acronym>URI</acronym> or tag. Static file caching is also assisted by
            <classname>Zend_Cache_Manager</classname> which includes pre-configured configuration
            templates for a static cache (as <constant>Zend_Cache_Manager::PAGECACHE</constant> or
            "page"). The defaults therein can be configured as needed to set up a "public_dir"
            location for caching, etc.
        </para>

        <note>
            <para>
                It should be noted that the static cache actually uses a secondary cache to store
                tags (obviously we can't store them elsewhere since a static cache does not invoke
                <acronym>PHP</acronym> if working correctly). This is just a standard Core cache,
                and should use a persistent backend such as File or TwoLevels (to take advantage of
                memory storage without sacrificing permanent persistance). The backend includes the
                option "tag_cache" to set this up (it is obligatory), or the
                <methodname>setInnerCache()</methodname> method.
