That dynamic mechanism would be WebObjects. It's Apple's product. I would

I can not find the dynamic delivery situation I had experienced in the past
(except at the ADC member site, which is actually much slower than I
remember it being). I recalled the webobjects URLs following me around
through the docs, but now that I have made a public statement, I can't make
it happen.
However, the page you picked at random serves as a good example of caching
failure, in spite of the fact that no cgi mechanism is apparently involved.
The foward button (this is in IE 5.0) is very snappy, but being able to use
the forward button is the exception rather than the rule. From the page you
cited above, click "Concepts", then go "Back", and instead of "Forward"
click "Concepts" again. The page appears to have to reload from scratch
each time you do this. I thought maybe IE was being bad, so I tried Mozilla
and it was no better.
However even this is faster than I remember from several months back. And
in the past I was seeing unnecessary cgi involvment through some of the
documentation. Maybe this has been addressed. (Am I crazy or was someone
else seeing this?)
