We see the browser cache bite us regularly with regard to the way they dip into the cache for long-stale records today.
Does browser caching still work these days? I thought all web admins disabled it on their servers because they can't be bothered to think about which cache directives to send along with each page. I can rarely return to a previously viewed page without the browser hitting the network, in any event.
Not all Web Admins do. At least, people still see ~30% byte hit rates on Squid caches. ;) Besides, these are two different things - browser DNS caching and browser content caching. Adrian
