Microsoft Internet Explorer - buffer


Expert: Aquaris - 4/14/2004

Question
Does Internet Explorer buffer its output (not display it until a certain amount of HTML has been received) and how can I turn it off so that output is displayed as soon as it is received from the program that is running?  Charlie chvol@aol.com

Answer

buffering  is  used  at  the  server's  end...

not  on  client  side.....


that  is on the  server  from  where the content  is sent to the  browser...


on  client  side....browser  just  received  DATA...

and  yes  it  does  have  a  local  cache....where it  stores  downloaded  content....

....manipulating  it for  streaming...????

not sure....since   its  not  buffering  but   cache....

and  buffering is  controlled by   scripting   ....on the  server's  end...


any way...


Tools--->>>  internet  option...


will take you where you will find  

three options  for  Temp  internet files and its controls.

I assume   IE  6  +

Deleting  files...

Deleting  Cookies.

and... settings..


its  the  third   button of  setting....which  allow you to manipulate  the  cache...

that is how much  space you want to allocate  to the  content  to be downloaded locally in the cache...


though  I have not  tried it....but you can experiment..


hope it helps...
