Quick Guide to Riak HTTP API and Using Riak as Cache Service

A two-part article by Simon Buckle introducing the Riak HTTP API and using it with Riak pluggable Memory back-end as a caching service for a web application . Somehow I missed that Riak has a pluggable memory (non-persistent) storage. The only missing piece for making it a better caching solution would be having the option to set a per-key expiry/time-to-live (TTL) value. It might be interesting to experiment with using Cache-Control and Last-Modified HTTP headers to simulate this behavior. Has anyone tried it?
