NewsCache can be plugged in between your news +reader(s) and your news server. NewsCache acts to news readers like a news +server and retrieves news articles from the news server like a news +reader. Whenever, a client requests an article from NewsCache, NewsCache +checks whether the article has already been stored in the cache area. If +this is the case, the article is sent directly to its client. Otherwise, +the article is requested from the upstream news server, stored in the +cache area and sent back to the client. + +Author: Thomas Gschwind +WWW: http://www.infosys.tuwien.ac.at/NewsCache/ + +- arved +freebsdports@arved.de |
