Trying to figure out if the 6.x-1.0-rc2 is compatible with windows. I noticed an issue was created in 2007 to remove symlinks which would make boost compatible with windows. It would appear that symlinks have been removed which i would assume would make boost compatible with windows. However, the documentation says this module is for Unix only, but then i could see that maybe the documentation just hasn't been updated. I have boost setup on my machine and the cache pages are being generated nicely however they are never used on page requests. I tried to track down why they weren't being served and found a function called "boost_get_cache" i would assume that this function is used to get the contents of the cached page. I can't see where this function is ever called, there are zero references to this function and i am pretty certain that this isn't a drupal hook function. If someone could clear up for me where boost stands in terms of windows support and how boost_get_cache is called i would greatly appreciate it. Thank you.

The documentation is old. I test on windows and linux before doing a release; so windows is fully supported.
boost_get_cache() is never called, I don't know why arto put it in; might have been useful for 4.7 when he originally wrote boost.

Apache grabs the cached page if your an anonymous user. I use a different browser to test and make sure the cache is working.
