Brian, I have some friends in the web proxy group at AOL, if you can send me (or post to this list) some urls that are breaking, they can take a look for you. According to them, if the java problem is happening on AOL 8.0 as well as 9.0, then it's not a TopSpeed issue (TopSpeed is just an executable that runs in tandem with 9.0), but could be some other client-related problem.. And in response to Rob's suggestion to use SSL instead of implementing cache-control, it would be a pretty wasteful implementation of SSL if its purpose is solely to prevent a proxy from recompressing your images. -- The Gunn [email protected] > > <snipped since its kinda long> > > Just got done working with my mother's machine again, and have been > watching > her and a bunch of other people who use AOL 9.0 and some who use 8.0. > Something over the past week alone has definately happened in regards to > the > AOL TopSpeed stuff.
