To All:

This whole thread brings up an interesting point ... the whole idea of a
"cache" is purely to enhance the performance (speed) -- otherwise, it is
supposed to be "transparent" (the user should not know it is there, nor
care).

The idea that a browser requires the user to decide when to "flush the
cache" is absurd, IMHO, and was/is a very poor design decision, especially
in light of (non-technical) "end users" ... :-o

Instead, browsers should be smart enough to check periodically (or as
needed) to see if files in the cache have been updated, and refresh them
automatically, or just delete them when they are detected to be
"out-of-date" so they will be downloaded again "on demand" when and if
needed. (In most cases, it should be much quicker to just check the last
update date/time stamp of a file on a remote server, versus having to
download the entire file.)

Any other software developers out there, please take note -- if your
software uses any kind of "caching" logic or algorithms, you should ensure
that it works in a manner that is "transparent" to the end-users.  It is
supposed to be strictly a performance-enhancing option.

That's my two cents worth!

Mark S. Waterbury
