  • CACHE OVERRIDE CONTROL IN AN APPARATUS FOR CACHING DYNAMIC CONTENT
    Publication number: 20020026563
    Abstract: A caching system and method are disclosed that allow for the caching of web pages that have dynamic content. The caching system and method utilize a cacheability analyzer that analyzes responses based on time, content, user identification, and macro hierarchy. The caching system only caches those responses having dynamic content that are deemed cacheable. Further, the automatic caching system can be overridden by the information author, the page creator or the system designer.

  • Method and system for automatically caching dynamic content based on a cacheability determination
    Patent number: 6351767
    Abstract: A caching system and method are disclosed that allow for the caching of web pages that have dynamic content. The caching system and method utilize a cacheability analyzer that analyzes responses based on time, content, user identification, and macro hierarchy. The caching system only caches those responses having dynamic content that are deemed cacheable. The method for caching dynamic content includes identifying parts of a response to a request for dynamic content from a requestor and attributes associated with the parts. The attributes are examined to determine cacheability of the response. A cacheability is made based on the determination and the response may be cached based upon that cacheability determination.
