🚀 Cache Proxy With Redis

📌 Overview

Cache Proxy With Redis is a simple HTTP proxy server built in Go that caches responses using Redis. If a requested resource is not found in the cache, the proxy fetches it from the origin server and stores the response for future requests.

🛠 Features

• 🌍 Forwards HTTP requests to the origin server.
• 🏪 Caches responses in Redis for fast retrieval.
• ⚡ Reduces load on the origin server by serving cached responses.
• 📜 Supports custom expiration time for cache entries.
• 📎 Includes cache hit/miss headers for better debugging.
• 🛠 CLI support using Cobra for flexible server management.
• 🧹 Option to clear the cache using a CLI flag.
