Yes, very true, caching will tend to prevent the counter from re-counting. When I open
a web page, it gets cached in Netscape, then on our proxy server, then I believe again
at
the ISP sometimes. Is it a problem? Not if your mostly interisted new hits. If your
trying to track people on your site, such as what pages they visit in which order,
there are
a few meta tags that help:
<meta http-equiv="pragma" content="no-cache">
<meta http-equiv="expires" content="0">

Initially yes. I dare to guess index.r may not automatically work on some servers
too. Unfortuneately the latter wont work--without special coercion anyways.
Really its just a "poor man's SSI counter." Best suited for something like webserv.r.

BTW: I made a "poor man's PHP" thing if anyone wants to play with it. Lets you put
rebol code in a tag and executes it as it spits out the web page. Works much like the
counter.
