so you'd want to do this then? (this is how they have it set up on the
webmaster.info.aol.com)

OK, I have watched this thread for the past two days and am now going to
magically solve the AOL caching issues for everybody.

Look, if you read the information provided by AOL in their ColdFusion based
webmaster information page they tell you how to cause their servers to not
cache.
P.S. - Has anybody read that book about the Spanish guy named Manuel, it
does help. ;)

Boy, that's a tough one. I'd ask the folks at AOL, to be honest. Good luck
getting an answer anytime relatively soon, though. If you are able to get
the stats from them regarding frequency of caching, etc., please do share
the numbers with this list. I don't target AOL users, nor do I generally
even stop to think about what my site is going to look like to an AOL user,
to be honest. However, AOL users do represent a large audience, and I
probably should be more concerned about how my clients' sites look to them.
If you discover any tips, tricks, or standard procedures for making a
dynamic site more "AOL friendly", I'd be interested in knowing about it, as
would many other folks on this list I'm sure. You are correct in your
statement that AOL's problems are not ColdFusion specific, in regards to
their probable inability to cache dynamic sites. These problems would exist
for any dynamic site technology, not just CF. Until you get answers from
the folks at AOL, my best advice (if this is a real concern of yours) is to
post a little disclaimer for AOL users stating the possibility of outdated
material and the like, and let them know you're working on it. Of course,
the best thing for you to do is to download and install a free AOL trial
membership, and view your site the way other AOL user would.

Thanks for this insight, Simon. According to this logic, Cold Fusion would
not be singled out by AOL. It would not be friendly to any server
technology that presents dynamic pages based on database content, including
ASP, PHP, and Domino.
Can you or anyone else shed some light on just how far behind AOL's caching
is? For instance, if I have info on a site that changes daily, how long
will AOL users go between snapshots? This would help me explain to AOL
users what they're not seeing.

Please
respond to
cf-talk
I haven't been following this entire thread, but you've got to remember
that
for all intents and purposes, AOL is a cached intranet. AOL (or anyone
else) cannot cache pages that are dynamically changing based on database
content... or at the very least, they cannot keep very current copies of
dynamic sites on their network. From AOL's standpoint, the statement
that
they are not "ColdFusion" friendly makes sense.
