@Jelkster Totally! I've been watching Railscasts since 2007 and I've learned so much from them. I'm happy to be giving back now. Keep up the awesome work, Ryan!

Ryan Taylor Long on #89 Page Caching (revised) 2012-02-14 15:24:03

I am curious why one may want to use this type of caching over HTTP Caching (with Rack::Cache, for example)...

Actually, bcrypt-ruby uses this method to parse the digest string:

def split_hash(h)
  _, v, c, mash = h.split('$')
  return v, c.to_i, h[0, 29].to_str, mash[-31, 31].to_str
end

The return of which is [version, cost, salt, hash]. So:

version: '2a'
cost: 10
salt: '$2a$10$QIFk4ytMIzE03/njtSMFme'
hash: 'dzhTyv8DVMMtWjqnFeW9FcQpBEf.u0.'

It is definitely cool!
