Hi, Thanks for the answers, however I think I was not exact enough with my questions. We are talking about yahoo mail which as much as I can tell does not use https. Even gmail only uses https only when forced to (that is when you access it through https//:mail.google.com. I found an article claiming that web pages are only stored in the cache for incoming pages. Outgoing pages (ones that you filled up are not.) This is the article:
https://www.blackhat.com/presentations/bh-usa-03/bh-us-03-akin.pdf ############################################################ In the following RFC : http://www.w3.org/Protocols/rfc2616/rfc2616-sec14.html It says the browser can be told NOT to cache the page. quote:14.9.1 What is Cacheable ...... private Indicates that all or part of the response message is intended for a single user and MUST NOT be cached by a shared cache. This allows an origin server to state that the specified parts of the response are intended for only one user and are not a valid response for requests by other users. A private (non-shared) cache MAY cache the response. ............. Note: Most HTTP/1.0 caches will not recognize or obey this directive. ####################################################################### I would assume an email server would use it. Anyone know if yahoo email does? Anyone know if IE5 does respond properly. fRom What I can see it does not. One more thing: I have been programming and working with computers for over 20 years. I know the internals of systems, networks and file systems. Please no lectures for newbies. What I am looking at this as part of a criminal investigation. If there is anyone in the group with such low level knowledge of these processes I would like to hear from him. ================================================================= To unsubscribe, send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the word "unsubscribe" in the message body, e.g., run the command echo unsubscribe | mail [EMAIL PROTECTED]
