This would be a browser feature.
Maybe bring up the cached version then check periodically for a newer version on both the proxy and via "Direct Conection" if it finds something new trigger a refresh perhaps?
Direct connection to the site would negate the benefits of the proxy, and would be impossible in some setups where the proxy is the only link to the Internet.
This could probably be done in mozilla/firebird as an addin (like the spellchecker and popup suppressor are)
I however have no experience in this so get someone who has a clue to make it for ya
Mike ;-)
I think he's asking for a program that will throw the cached version of the website up on the screen immediately while in the background the caching program checks to see if the page is current. If it finds that the cached version is out of date it downloads the new page and automatically makes the browser refresh the page. If the page is current-- you're set. If not-- you get the auto-refresh.
Not a bad idea if you don't mind running the risk of looking at stale data for a second or two.
To do it in Linux there would need to be some kind of way for squid to trigger a refresh in the browser if the page is not current. How would one do that, and would it be breaking any fscking patents?
