Re: Help! Strange happenings...
This WebDNA talk-list message is from 1997
It keeps the original formatting.

What if we want to cache images as well as templates?Any files (.tmpl, for instance) that WebCatalog 'sees' are not 'seen' by WebSTAR, so you can leave both caches on and should be fine. WebCatalog caches the files it serves up, and WebSTAR caches its files such as graphics.>* LAST, BROWSER INFO.TXT -- still haven't heard from anyone on this (names for >new IE browsers). The online documentation and my printed version say that the >old IE 2.0 goes by Mozill 1.2...what about IE 3.* and 4.*There is no easy way to get such a list. I recommend you put [BrowserName] into a template and hit it with as many browsers as you have. Or create a database that tracks all unique browsers by name to get an idea of what's out there hitting your site.Grant Hulbert, V.P.
