> IE saves SSL pages in it's private cache. This is possible because every Apparently this is also what Opera does: <http://www.searchengineworld.com/opera/cache.htm#item219> When people say that browsers don't cache HTTPS documents, it's not clear if they're talking about "permanent/extended" page cache, or temporary cache for the current session only. My semi-educated *guess* is that browsers generally cache HTTPS documents like all other documents, but then clean the HTTPS cache when the browser is closed. Does that sound likely? > You can, like most webmail applications, mix unsecured and secured, in an > effort to save bandwidth and reduce processor utilization. We're doing this already (mostly). But there remains the issue of linked static documents such as CSS files, .JPGs and .GIFs and external Javascript files. We'd like these to be stored in the browser cache for as long as possible (within the limits of "Expires:" of course) without our users having to deal with dialog boxes alerting them about "non-secure" items being loaded and asking them whether they want to load those or not... > Hope these suggestions will help you a little bit... Thanks! I'm still searching for more answers. Any suggestions where to look/ask? -- Már Örlygsson ------------------------------ mailto:mar@anomy.net http://mar.anomy.net
