Web Caching

And the latest (non-routine) changes to the web caching pages were...

10 September 2006

The site is (mostly) back up after a two week or so hiatus as a result of our (former) hosting provider going out of business without warning. Unfortunately, it meant that we lost our dynamic content. It will take a while before we manage to get equivalent systems running again...

15 August 2005

Finally fixed a long-standing bug in the forums that had broken the ability for new users to register and post --- problem was likely triggered by a configuration change by my hosting facility.

15 July 2004

Yes, there have been updates over the past few years, but as expected, mostly removals of links to dead dot-coms.

16 November 2001

Made posting job openings simpler by moving to a job openings forum. Now employment opportunities can be posted directly.

June 2001

Added some pages listing caching-related browser bugs. Sometimes the problem isn't in the website code!

May 2001

Did some spring cleaning; added a site-wide CSS.

October 2000

Started a job postings page. Looking to make a change? Start here! Added a show headers tool so that the actual headers produced by a web server can be examined.

August 2000

Put archives of past UPDATE newsletters online.

June 2000

Introduced the first web-caching.com newsletter.

May 2000

Compiled a list of Content Delivery Networks (and related services).

March 2000

Added a discussion groups area to the site, with different topic areas for questions and discussions. Got a local traceroute tool running.

February 2000

Added a web caching books page; small re-organization of the menu. Added a privacy policy page. Added a web caching tools page along with a local copy of Mark Nottingham's Cacheability Engine.

January 2000

Revamped the side menu structure into predominantly Industry or Research topics. Added a market analysis page. Linked to the research projects page. Added a links page with a listing of all the non-search referrers to this site.

October 1999

Updated the publications page with recent and upcoming conferences and workshops that have caching publications. Split Mark Nottingham's tutorial across multiple pages so that it was not such a large file to download at once. Also revised the Peregrine entry to reflect it's commercial status as NetHawk.

August 1999

A full-site re-vamp, re-checking links, moving to a non-frames format. Added Mark Nottingham's web caching tutorial, moved caching mailing lists to a separate page, and created a first attempt at a new front page. Added site search capability, thanks to FreeFind.

July 1999

Started redirecting all Rutgers viewers to the commercial site.

June 1999

Moved all content (except the bibliography) to the commercial site.

February 1999

Set up a commercial domain name (www.web-caching.com) and started linking to it as the front page for the site.

September 1998

Added the Cobalt Qube to the comparison chart, and added a discussion on why web-caching research is useful (although this page is not yet linked anywhere else).

August 1998

More caching news and a new page with publicly available web traces and server logs.

July 1998

Whole site redesigned, adding a couple of fluff pages, and my bibliography page which has been in development for a couple of weeks. Added the Caching News page.

June 1998

Initial web pages are now public, with a message in the ISP Caching mailing list. Main feature is a large list of proxy cache products. A list of personal web cache extensions followed shortly thereafter, as did a reader-submitted proxy comparison chart.
