  You should add the word "web" to the title. There are many other kinds of caching.

  this is good, but somewhat outdated. I haven't used iplanet since 1999. Also SSL/HTTPS is a whole different world.

  in the scripts section he says "Generate Content-Length response headers. It’s easy to do, and it will allow the response of your script to be used in a persistent connection. This allows clients to request multiple representations on one TCP/IP connection, instead of setting up a connection for every request. It makes your site seem much faster." does he mean, for example, when serving up a dynamic php page, where the content might change for each request, you should still generate a content-length header before outputing the content?
