> OK, I see 2 options: I could live with either of these options; #1 is what the proxies currently use; #2 would impose more requirements to server software, but may yield a better uniform environment where the cache-control information is always available. > Also, note that a count of only 0.23% of web pages having Expires > headers does _not_ imply that at least 99.77% of the web is cachable. True -- but the number is still pretty large (if this is continuing the discussion of whether it's 50% or 90% hit ratio that we should be targetting at). Even if all of the HTML in the world became dynamic and couldn't be cached, 75% of URLs, and far more than that measured in bytes could be cached (images are still cacheable, and image files are in average larger than HTML). [Numbers quickly pulled from Netscape's site cache and not accurate.] Cheers, -- Ari Luotonen ari@netscape.com Netscape Communications Corp. http://home.netscape.com/people/ari/ 501 East Middlefield Road Mountain View, CA 94043, USA Netscape Server Development Team
