8.5 HTTP cache
123
Allow browsers to use configuration script automatically...
It is possible to let
Internet Explorer
be configured automatically by the DHCP server. To
set this, enable the
Automatically detect settings
option.
WinRoute’s
DHCP server must be running (see chapter
), otherwise the function will
not work. TCP/IP parameters at the host can be static —
Internet Explorer
sends a special
DHCP query when started.
Hint
This method enables to configure all
Internet Explorer
browsers at all local hosts by a sin-
gle click.
8.5 HTTP cache
Using cache to access Web pages that are opened repeatedly reduces Internet traffic (in case of
line where traffic is counted, it is also remarkable that using of cache decreases total volume
of transferred data). Downloaded files are saved to the harddisk of the
WinRoute
host so that
it is not necessary to download them from the Web server again later.
All objects are stored in cache for a certain time only (
Time To Live
—
TTL
). This time defines
whether checks for the most recent versions of the particular objects will be performed upon
a new request of the page. The required object will be found in cache unless the
TTL
timeout
has expired. If it has expired, a check for a new update of the object will be performed. This
ensures continuous update of objects that are stored in the cache.
The cache can be used either for direct access or for access via the proxy server. If you
use direct access, the HTTP protocol inspector must be applied to the traffic. In the default
configuration of
WinRoute
, this condition is met for the HTTP protocol at the default port
80
(for details, see chapters
and
To set HTTP cache parameters go to the
Cache
tab in
Configuration
→
Content Filtering
→
HTTP Policy
.
Enable cache on transparent proxy
This option enables cache for HTTP traffic that uses the HTTP protocol inspector (direct
access to the Internet).
Enable cache on proxy server
Enables the cache for HTTP traffic via
WinRoute’s
proxy server (see chapter
HTTP protocol TTL
Default time of object validity within the cache. This time is used when:
•
TTL of a particular object is not defined (to define TTL use the
URL specific settings
button —see below)
•
TTL defined by the Web server is not accepted (the
Use server supplied Time-To-
Live
entry)
