I am working for a CDN and i need to learn more about http performance, http protocol, caching and things like that.<p>What is the best books in this field?<p>Thank you!
You could start by taking a look at the Squid web site (<a href="http://www.squid-cache.org" rel="nofollow">http://www.squid-cache.org</a>). Also the HAProxy web site (<a href="http://www.haproxy.org" rel="nofollow">http://www.haproxy.org</a>). There's some useful background info there. There's also a commercial entity behind HAProxy with some additional info (<a href="https://www.haproxy.com" rel="nofollow">https://www.haproxy.com</a>). A nice intro to HAProxy here: <a href="https://www.digitalocean.com/community/tutorials/an-introduction-to-haproxy-and-load-balancing-concepts" rel="nofollow">https://www.digitalocean.com/community/tutorials/an-introduc...</a><p>Also take a look at the Wikipedia pages for Squid and HAProxy.<p>With regards books, the ones I looked at seemed a bit dated.
