The caches aren't currently in a position where they could handle
all the HTTP requests that are being made from our network, so the point
is moot.

Having said that, the hope is to install more capacity as soon as we
a) have something operating more stably than at present (see other
recent posts I've made) b) I finish some of my current investigation
work and demonstrate conclusively that it really really is important. ;)

There is supposed to be some rudimentary 0.9 request support in Squid,
but it doesn't work right and isn't implemented correctly in any
case. If people who really do only have 0.9 browsers, that can still
use proxies, (and who really can't upgrade because there is no other
browser for that OS for them to use) would like to pass details onto
me then I will gladly listen and get an idea of the size of this
problem.
