How to config the cache dir?

[register88]

Hi, i use bfilter with chrome (on windows xp), it is great.
anyway, i want to config the bfilter cache directory to D:\somewhere\cache, can i do that?

Is there something like "bfilter.exe --cache-dir="D:\path" ?
any documents about this?

Please help, thank you.

There is no way to change the cache directory, except installing BFilter itself to a different location. Why would you want to change it anyway? It's only for caching scripts, and the cache size is limited by default to 5 MB.

I haven't tried building it on OpenBSD, but a long time ago I built it on FreeBSD. ACE was available in Ports I think, but I remember having to build by own version anyway. I seem to remember the standard ./configure && make && make install procedure failed for me then, so I had to revert to their old procedure where you copy the appropriate config-${platform}.h to config.h and platform_${platform}.GNU to platform_macros.GNU

Because for some reason, my system is readonly, when the system restart, all the cache will gone.
and i think the cache can speed up something(is it?), so i want it can cache something even i restart the system.
i relocated the bfilter install directory now, and i set the cache size limit to 500MB.
anyway, you said it just cache the script,
what the script does?
if i cache the script, will it speed up bfilter?
and any tips can speed up bfilter?

The ACE website said, ACE on openbsd DO NOT support pthread,
so, i think the build will work, if disable pthread, but i do not tried yet.

Anyway, thank you and your nice software.
Thanks.

The reason only scripts are cached is because scripts are the only objects fetched by BFilter on its own behalf, rather than on behalf of a browser. Everything fetched on behalf of a browser will be cached by the browser itself.

I couldn't find a mention about ACE not supporting pthreads on OpenBSD. I found a mention that pthreads don't work with exceptions enabled under OpenBSD, but that should not be a problem.

Will bfilter update default filter rules?

Yes, you are right, the website just mention that.

Please help, thank you again.
