Re: hotmail caching

Hi Simon,

thanks for replying..

When we type in www.hotmail.com into the browser, it actually goes to the
site "http://lw1lg.hotmail.com/cgi-bin/login".
However this is very slow just getting the login screen up for hotmail when
we point to our local squid proxy. And login in to hotmail takes a long
time too.

However if we point our browser to our ISPs Proxy, hotmail is a lot faster
in all aspects?

Are you sure you want to cache hotmail anyway? Each time the user logs in
it will be different with different info so it won't be in the cache. I
would
imagine that Squid is actually working well
