I like the idea of a protocol
but dont want to have to require old scripts to be modified
to put the prefix (cache://) on the front.
I will consider something which can cache -all- url-based fetches
as a revision to the std http: protocol.
I think it would be fine for a given instance of rebol in a certain subtree to
maintain a cache where other instances (private copies in another dir or
ones run by other people on same system) do not.
yes, an expires header is good though the
webserver can also return an "expires" header
that should probably be observed.
