But wasn't able to find anything concrete. It also doesn't explain why the /~checkout~/ option gave different results. This problem occurred suddenly. I checked with a friend at the ISP in question. FWIW, he said they had made no proxy changes in months. > If that is the situation, cvsweb.cgi may have to add a header field > "Pragma: no-cache" or "Expire: ..(soon).." for such proxies that cache > even a CGI output. (But that applies to most CGI programs...) The no-cache or expires in 1s is better for situation such as what I'm trying to do. At present, FreshPorts seems to be happy with /~checkout~/. But I would like to know more. thanks. -- Dan Langille pgpkey - finger dan@unixathome.org | http://unixathome.org/finger.php To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-hackers" in the body of the message
