bash $ composer require SPHDD/authorized_digital_sellers:"^1", _(*5)

Features

2. Serve a cached but outdated ads.txt if the Master fails to respond.
3. Fallback to Self-Managed ads.txt if there is no cached version and Master fails to respond.
4. Ability to set HTTP Cache-Control. Useful if you have HTTP accelerators and CDNs that respect the cache-control setting.
