They must both be in the correct GMT form and iff they are the same, then no caching will be done (including AOL). The biggest problem with AOL is that their cache has an incredibly narrow definition of what an active page URL looks like. You must use the MIME headers to correctly specify that a page not be cached.I have included my MIMEHeaders.inc file on several occasions, so please check for it in the archives. Simply call like this: [include MIMEHeaders.inc&expires=0]when you want a page to not be cached under any circumstances. I allow most of my pages to be cached by default, since any POST variables will prevent caching of any search page.HTHJohn-- John Peacock Director of Information Research and Technology Rowman & Littlefield Publishing Group 4720 Boston Way Lanham, MD 20706 301-459-3366 x.5010 fax 301-429-5747------------------------------------------------------------- This message is sent to you because you are subscribed to the mailing list
