Heh. I added a "google news" thingie to an intranet, just to mess with RSS really, and quickly figured out I needed to cache stuff if I wanted any type of reliability. Besides the fact that I felt it was mean of me to send out a request for new stuff every freaking request. Every 10 minutes, sure, that's ok, I rationalized. So the worst that happens now is stale news. I feel it's better than 50 requests in 10 seconds for the same info tho. I'd think that you'd probably want some type of cache anyways, right? Is that a best practice with webservices? I can see where that would mess you up tho, so... man, this caching issue pops up all over. Databases, webservices, who know where else. I can see how whole methodologies could spring up around various ideas... A pet project of mine for years now is the "sometimes connected" idea. Maybe flash will help me make it a reality, otherwise it's looking like java. Eh. Interesting stuff. :DeN ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Message: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=i:4:244827 Archives: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/threads.cfm/4 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=s:4 Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=11502.10531.4 Donations & Support: http://www.houseoffusion.com/tiny.cfm/54
