Microsoft Internet Explorer/buffer
Expert: Aquaris - 4/14/2004
QuestionDoes 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...
