md5 is not guaranteed to be unique, that is to say, two seperate inputs can generate the same hash, so you would need to use extra logic in your application if you wanted to guard against this remote possibility. I'm guessing the problem you are trying to solve is the memcache key has a limitation that is shorter than the possible request_uri ?

Thanks Dave,

The problem is that memcached will not allow certain characters in the key name - so I thought it might be simpler to just store the md5 of the actual request_uri.

Thanks,

Geoff
