May be you haven't understood my poor crippled English, I'll try again. I do NOT want to start a _new_load_ each time. I want make it efficiently. I do want to use the anchor from memory cache, if it is _already_ there, i.e. has already been loaded, get the document from persistent cache, if the anchor isn't present in memory, but is present in persistent cache, and that entry hasn't expired, and so on... and request the object from network if it necessary (I think this scheme is used as main policy in libwww, isn't it?). And I want to get informed in some way, if the anchor is currently being loaded (a request for the anchor has been issued, but not finished yet). If this is the case, starting a new load (and even reload) operation would be unreasonable --- the document which is currently being loaded is fresh and that's why it's the best variant. Regards. QingLong.
