Description
Most of the traffic on my website is from the feeds (70%...podcasts).
I'd like to see static feed caching in the future.
#1
I vote for caching RSS also, because it IS possible to send static files with required header:
Content-Type: application/rss+xml
or
Content-Type: text/xml
when using Nginx webserver.
I plan to share my full Drupal+Boost+Nginx working configuration, soon, and adding cache for RSS (even for Nginx users) would be huge benefit.

hmmm... What are all the possible url structures for feeds? Fairly sure it would have to support
application/rss+xml&text/xmlcontent-type mimes. In short a spec sheet is needed, so the degree of difficulty can be assessed.#7
with pathauto if you look int he pathauto table, every feed enabled stuff gets a "/feed" added to the end by default. At least for me for sure :)
#8
We can use the same boost commented footnote, so need to change the
// Output buffering callbackto correctly detect html & xml. Rewrite rules need to push out text/xml; (T=MIME-type) or ForceType. Cache all .xml extensions, all /feed paths. Add a setting to control this.#9
FYI The URL requests for XML sitemap data are always going to be
/sitemap(-\d+)?\.xml/i(PHP's preg format).#10
Fixed a bug with url aliass & subdir in this patch in boost_cache_expire_derivative() function. Patch should cache xml and feeds.
