Enabling this plugin has caused almost all cache files to be deleted immediately after creation, forcing MODx to re-generate the resources for each request.

Disabling the plugin solves the issue.

Can you provide a transport package for modx-mirror?

Hi! Thank you for this great plugin. Could you please add a license to it so people will know what they're allowed to do with it? Thanks.

Hey Andrey,

Just had a weird thing happen to me when using Mirror with a 404 image on the home page.

Problem

Basically what was happening was the home page had a missing image on it (which can happen from time to time). MODX be default will then try to serve the 404 page which in this case was the home page. Now when this behavior is coupled with Mirror flushing the cache on every request it actually caused my laptop to fully crash under the weight of around 100 Apache processes. Effectively it would keep going until my computer ran out of RAM.

I don't think this should be fixed by adding a break to detect that an image is being referenced and not clear the cache. I think we should completely revisit how the cache gets cleared.

My suggestion:

Create a setting in Mirror that is a parameter it looks for in the request. We can default this to flush. Then when you want to clear the pages add ?flush=1 to the request string.

Anyone have any other ideas?
