I'd tried doing similar things in the past, but quite often the thing you wanted wasn't cached. Not even at that moment. There's an awful lot of websites that bugger up caching. Trying to use a browser in off-line mode, stepping through the cache, frequently doesn't work. But you'd expect that something that you were currently looking at would have files sitting in your cache, at least. And, no, I'm not talking about something served through HTTPS when you you've got settings not to cache securely received pages. > I go into the Cache directory and use ls -lart and there will be the > newest file added to the directory and listed at the tail of the list. > Sweet again!

In the past, I'd seen cache directories that were a pile of sub-directories, so I didn't expect that I'd see useful results. But there was just one directory full of cached files. Then did a "file" command on one of the files listed. It was a DOS executable. Hmm, don't you just love *NOT* running a Microsoft OS or browser when you web browse...? -- (This computer runs FC7, my others run FC4, FC5 & FC6, in case that's important to the thread.)
