I believe caches work based on the URL, including the query string, so it would identify each script included in this was as a separate cacheable page. You may have to generate some appropriate cache headers in the script, at a minimum you'd want to generate a Date header. Other than that, I think you'd be fine. You could probably test it (even with just a simple CGI script before investing time in setting up the minifier) by visiting a script, navigating away from it, then putting your browser in offline mode. If you're able to revisit the page in offline mode, that should mean it's cached. Did you have some specific reason in mind why this would affect caching? -Brian -- Feel free to contact me using PGP Encryption: Key Id: 0x3AA70848 Available from: http://pgp.mit.edu/ --------------------------------------------------------------------- The official User-To-User support forum of the Apache HTTP Server Project.
