Re: About HTTP 1.1 Cache
Most servers treat Last-Modified values as opaque validators -- IIS and Apache -- don't. Interesting -- thanks for the info. Juliusz
Re: About HTTP 1.1 Cache
The easiest solution would be just using different browser-profiles and run them simultaneously. One for Tor, one for everything else.

Re: About HTTP 1.1 Cache
Steve- Side-by-side would be good. I'm often switching my proxy settings around between port 8118 (use Privoxy+Tor) and port 8119 (use Privoxy w/o Tor). I don't like the Firefox Tor button plugin because it's too global. I'd like one session that I know will use Tor, and another that won't. I was considering installing Seamonkey with different proxy settings for this reason alone. It's good to be able to use the full speed of my connection, while still keeping the anonymous option open for some traffic. I think themes may be a bit distracting too, but that depends on the theme. Having a different process name would be nice, or a little icon somewhere would be enough. Just so long as I can tell the two apart and have them be separate processes with separate configurations. Cheers- -Andy Arrakis wrote: Kyle You could if you want to recompile.

If they are advanced users, they can always edit the head section to use a different process name rather than Firefox.exe.

Re: About HTTP 1.1 Cache
Andy, So maybe a very subtle theme and icon change. I'll give it some thought tonight as I finish xB Browser 2.0.0.7a Regards, Steve Andy Schaumberg wrote: Steve- Side-by-side would be good.

Re: About HTTP 1.1 Cache
What about If-Modified-Since header with time now? The website can know the las visit, time and the pages of browser with a database. Added this information with browser identification can not be good. You're right. This is one of the reasons why you must purge your browser cache and your proxy cache regularly when you use tor, typi- cally whenever you switch from one persona too the other. This is also why I recommend that people using Polipo with tor should not use an on-disk cache, unless they understand the consequences. Regards, Juliusz
