Rails - Mar 2006 - Expiring cached actions outside of ActionController

In the site I''m building, my models are *almost* never updated within 
ActionController-- all new data comes in via command line scripts 
manipulating ActiveRecord directly.

Can anyone offer any hints about expiring cached actions without Sweeper?

Check out this plugin -
http://wiki.rubyonrails.com/rails/pages/Action+Cache+Update+Plugin

Point 6 - setting a Time To Live - allows you to expire the cached actions
by time without needing a sweeper

Perfect! This is exactly what I need.

The conditional-get features (if not the time_to_live stuff as well) 
ought to be considered for core, especially given 1.1''s focus on more 
intelligent HTTP.

(Although, don''t delay 1.1 for it ;)
