Had to paste this, ashok as you advice people that no-cache at all is a bad practice you might need to communicate with yahoo, cnn & various news site. The lecturer who said that must know that technology changes as soon as first years finish campus :-)) ... see below from yahoo , I could hv bored you with more from cnn & bbc but for the list be warned that not all stuff lecturers & experts say are true .. internet is all about invention it has not formula thats why a best practice is put in place.
It makes sense on news sites, web mail sites, banking sites etc. where you dont want to expire content between visits as it may have changed or for security reasons (banking sites for instance...).
If you are serving up half a dozen pages with static content, which is what most sites do, you shouldnt be setting those flags.
the problem with the caching at accesskenya is their caching does not recognize when a page has changed intelligently, -- since the problem is not present with other isps.. _______________________________________________ Skunkworks mailing list Skunkworks@lists.my.co.ke http://lists.my.co.ke/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/skunkworks Other services @ http://my.co.ke Other lists ------------- Announce: http://lists.my.co.ke/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/skunkworks-announce Science: http://lists.my.co.ke/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/science kazi: http://lists.my.co.ke/cgi-bin/mailman/admin/kazi/general
