Yes but you can plug ASP.NET into any server, including Apache. Not trivial, but a project in incubation (waiting for my SVN skill to increase to the point that it starts out as the sole version control system for the subproject) will offer this as open-source with Apache. Actually anyone could create the thunks required to host ASP.NET. Heck, there is a command line host ;) >Reply to the long quote about cache: >In fact HTTP has a cache but you have to store buffers in the cache and you >have to make HTTP API to send the cached buffer.
