I think it depends on how you implement things, which server you use, etc. If the web server thinks the output is programatically generated it doesn't know if it needs to be recreated or not so it calls the program. If it's just reading a file it can check the file system datetime stamp to determine if the client needs a new copy. You probably want to look at Squid: http://www.squid-cache.org/ On Mon, Mar 2, 2009 at 11:32 AM, Eddie Carle <eddie-NBZbi/[email protected]> wrote: > On Fri, 2009-02-27 at 17:00 -0600, Jay Sprenkle wrote: > > The browser and the server negotiate what type of compression they > > will use using HTTP headers.
