Oddly enough, I never received the original post by Timothee Masquelier, but
I saw the reply below.
Timothee:
Browse-it, the browser from Pumatech which will be available through
Intellisync.com, supports the no-cache flag. If you'd like more info about
Browse-it, please email me directly.
Richard:
Client caching is even more important on Palm devices because the
connections are very different from desktop connections. If a user doesn't
have a modem handy, can't get reception with wireless, etc. then all the
user has left left is pages stored in the cache on the device. With
Browse-it, the original HTML and images aren't stored; a much smaller
encoded version of the page is stored.
If one's device is really strapped for memory the cache size can be set to 0
bytes. Pages won't be stored on the device.
