Newton Posted March 18, 2008 Posted March 18, 2008 Odd one this... How do I know if the web page I'm looking at in IE, has been cached by my proxy (with out looking at the proxy)
tom_newton Posted March 18, 2008 Posted March 18, 2008 It should have been cached unless it was a dynamic generated site. So the better question is "how do I know if it *hasn't* been cached - usually a good rule-of-thumb is if it has a ? in the URL it won't be cached. Why do you need to know this? If we know the reason we may be able to offer better answers ;-P
Newton Posted March 18, 2008 Author Posted March 18, 2008 A teacher thinks the cachepilot isn't caching pages. I would like a nice simple way to prove it is (other than it loads faster)
Michael Posted March 18, 2008 Posted March 18, 2008 Couldn't you simply say, because all traffic is routed through a proxy, it's automatically cached? Maybe a little cheeky, but in most cases it's true!
Jona Posted March 18, 2008 Posted March 18, 2008 You could probably use wget: http://users.ugent.be/~bpuype/wget/#download (see bottom of the page for proxy settings). Cheers Jona
tom_newton Posted March 18, 2008 Posted March 18, 2008 Tough one. It may be worth checking the HTTP headers, but AFAIK IE won't let you - only firefox.
