Description

Ideally I'd like to first receive the request body and use that to generate the CacheKey. Is this currently possible without forking Pingora? I wonder if it fits in the current lifecycle management.

Contributor guide

Research direction
Examine Pingora's cache module and lifecycle hooks to see if request body can be accessed before cache key generation. Look at the CacheKey trait and how it is used. Check existing examples and documentation for custom cache implementations.
