There is a caching mechanism, which you can override if you instantiate your own FileSystemManager.
AFAIR from reading the code, each provider has some control over deciding which files should be cached. For your initial voyage, the defaults should work fine. -- Schalk W.

That's pretty much exactly what I need. Just want to check I'm not misunderstanding this, and if there are any gotchas to be aware of I'd assume that things like Last-Modified would be checked at some period, and new copies pulled down if changed? -- Rob Walker -- Ascert - Taking systems to the edge www.ascert.com --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [email protected] For additional commands, e-mail: [email protected]
