caching tags

Hi guys,

I was wondering if there is a way to cache tags with a dispatcher pointing to an author instance? This is for AEM 6.1

We have a lot of tags and they all get loaded automatically when a user visits:

1) http://localhost:4502/assets.html/content/dam

The tags are loaded as part of the Search panel on that interface. I looked around and while the tags are ultimately an html unordered list, the entire search panel is embedded and rendered as part of that request. Since the request does not have an extension the dispatcher won't cache it, which makes sense since we probably don't want to cache the contents of "/content/dam" or the contents of any other path underneath it.

But we probably would want to cache the search panel, since it's the same across all paths and views.

I noticed that a request to:

2) http://localhost:4502/libs/dam/gui/content/commons/sidepanels/search.html

Will render the actual search panel. Is there a way to have the request in 1) embed the html from 2)? This way then the URL in 2) could be cached in the dispatcher.

Thanks in advance for all ideas, comments, or suggestions
