Hi
I come from a unix background of web services and now I'm working with an IIS box. The site that is being administered is compiled of ASP pages with COM components on another server. A web user navigates to the index.asp page. This page is compiled and then creates an HTML string that is sent to the web user's browser. I want to know where is that HTML string stored. In Memory, or on the server in a location.
in unix, it would be stored in the DOCROOT.
The reason I ask is because I want to be able to cache many pages on my site. Since most pages are updated only twice daily, there is no need to process the ASP page every single time a web user navigates to that page

Can anyone help m
thank

If it updates even once a day I don't think you will want to Cache it at
all. If you Cache it you may find that people around the world will not get
the updated page unless they dump their Cache or Refresh that page, if you
do not let the pages Cache they (the browser) will always check for a newer
version of that page.

You would allow the user to cache the page, and set an appropriate expiry
date/time (the date/time should be just before the page is rebuilt). The
browser will cache the page, and re-use it until the page has expired. Then
it'll go and get the new version.

Cheers
