I think to have any knowledge of AOL's cache control we have to a subsidiary
of AOL/Time Warner or a possible investment...
After testing HTTP control is in use for all intensive purposes. But it
seems the caching only start for a 6 hour period on that subnet.. For
instance if you dial up and at the time you have IP 1.1.1.1 the cache/proxy
server 1.1.1.2 has it for 6 hours where http caching is not listed. If you
then dialed up and got IP 2.2.2.1 you wouldn't see the 5 hour 59 min. old
data because 2.2.2.2 had cached it again...
SAFE way:
Use a HTTP control based caching...
