Re: NTL Proxy advice

AFAIK the proxy should pass on that request (or rather its more accurate technical version) and ignore even its own cached version, or am I getting confused?
Now that's more along the lines of what I thought (I thought it was SHIFT but with my memory, you are probably right ). Unfortunately, I don't know for sure, and more importantly, I don't know if some such commend would force NTL's proxies to be refreshed, resurrecting the "dead" access to sites. Running on another proxy works, but it does seem to add a delay to some sites, so it would be great if there was a way to force the correct proxy to load a site. Is there anbody with the definitive answer?
