I am translating manual/caching.xml (branche 2.2) for the french translation project and I encounter a problem translating "But then this is the point of caching content in the first place" (line 110) because I don't really understand the meaning of the phrase, regarding its context.
The lines above that statement discuss how a cached resource is served based on a URL comparison. No other processing stages take place, like (as the page mentions) URL manipulation by mod_proxy or mod_rewrite, or authorization, dynamic content generation (PHP, CGI, JSP) etc.
The point (see <http://www.m-w.com/dictionary/point>, mostly 1 and 3) of caching a resource is to do the expensive stuff (fetching from a back-end proxy, regular expression based rewrites, running a scripting language to generate a page based on database information) once, put the result in the cache and serve it from the cache on subsequent requests.
Thanks for helping out with the translation. S. -- Sander Temme [EMAIL PROTECTED] PGP FP: 51B4 8727 466A 0BC3 69F4 B7B8 B2BE BC40 1529 24AF
