What kind of reverse proxy did you set up? Using Apache and mod_proxy, or some other software, like Squid? If you're using mod_proxy with Apache, I don't think caching is done automatically, you'll want to look at mod_cache: http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.0/mod/mod_cache.html For other software, dedicated caching proxies (again, like Squid) usually keep their cache is a more complex way then you seem to be expecting. For instance, the cache may be stored partially in RAM and partially on disk, or in a database. At any rate, cahce entries are not generally stored in any kind of user-friendly way where you can just browse to the cache directory and look for *.pdf files. They're typically stored based on some sort of hashing mechanism so they can be quickly recovered. -Brian -- Feel free to contact me using PGP Encryption: Key Id: 0x3AA70848 Available from: http://keys.gnupg.net --------------------------------------------------------------------- The official User-To-User support forum of the Apache HTTP Server Project.
