I'm fetching and manipulating XML from twitter and flickr in my rails app. The results appear on every page and the parsing is handled in the Application Controller with Hpricot and open-uri.
This is my first experiment with action caching and it doesn't seem to be working. I'm in dev mode using WEBRick. Everything appropriate is set to true in development.rb.
Here's what's in the controller:
before_filter :twitter, :flickr
caches_action :twitter, :flickr
Nothing shows up in /tmp/cache, and it's clear that Hpricot is doing it's thing on every page load.
Thanks in advance.
