Abstract
Caching dynamic content can bring many benefits to the performance and scalability of Web application servers. However, such mechanisms are usually tightly coupled to individual application servers (or even applications) that prevent caching at more advantageous points. In this paper we propose an approach to enable dynamic content caching at enhanced Web proxies which requires only simple modifications to existing applications.
