Who won? My bet is @Home. The cache operater has a relationship with the customer, and can more easily "explain" that the content site is broken. I still find it very hard to believe and content provider of significance would deliberately break proxies, when the proxies do not prevent them from doing anything they really need to do (maybe make it a little more work, but not much.) --- Jeremy Porter, Freeside Communications, Inc.
