The remote server has the option to disallow caching of any resource it serves. This includes public caches (ie- isa cache) or private caches (browser caches). If you send the url of the file I could look at the headers and let you know if this is what's happening with your download. Or you could download one of the many HTTP conversation tools out there and look at the HTTP headers. My favorite is Webscarab available at http://www.owasp.org. -Shawn ----- Shawn R.

Is there a trick to this. I have seen it work someplace for example when I download a file of say 3MB on one pc and the use another pc to download that same file, I get it from the cache. But on my setup it does not get it from the cache but instead it starts to re-download that file from in internet. What is going wrong. I am really frustrated by this, cause it's more that a month that I am trying it out and have failed all the time. Help me please :-( ------------------------------------------------------ List Archives: http://www.webelists.com/cgi/lyris.pl?enter=isalist ISA Server Newsletter: http://www.isaserver.org/pages/newsletter.asp ISA Server FAQ: http://www.isaserver.org/pages/larticle.asp?type=FAQ ------------------------------------------------------ Other Internet Software Marketing Sites: World of Windows Networking: http://www.windowsnetworking.com Leading Network Software Directory: http://www.serverfiles.com No.1 Exchange Server Resource Site: http://www.msexchange.org Windows Security Resource Site: http://www.windowsecurity.com/ Network Security Library: http://www.secinf.net/ Windows 2000/NT Fax Solutions: http://www.ntfaxfaq.com ------------------------------------------------------ You are currently subscribed to this ISAserver.org Discussion List as: shawn.quillman@xxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe visit http://www.webelists.com/cgi/lyris.pl?enter=isalist
