Any good web load testing software will be able to capture the entire set of
requests needed to display a page.  Just flush you browser cache, turn it on
recording mode, and browse to the page in question.  It should give you a
list of everything that happened between the browser and the server.  Then
do it again, and you can compare the results and see how much client-side
caching changed things.

  Subject: OT: Verbose account of files transfered with an HTTP request

  Hi all,
  I have a need to display to a client exactly what is being transferred
with a given HTTP request. This is being done to evaluate and explain
caching.

  So, for example, if a page has 10 images, I would like to find a piece of
software that creates a sort of summary of the request, and lists the
elements that were transfered (each image, etc). Does anyone know if
something exists or how one would create such a beast?

  Also, I want to make absolutely sure that the browser is not caching
anything. To address this, I have used the CFHEADER tag with the Expires,
Pragma and Cache-Control values. Is this enough? Am i missing something? I
want to ensure that the same image is sent down with every page request and
not cached, without changing settings on the browser.

  Any info appreciated.

  JM
