Caching Tutorial Update

I’ve published a revision of the Caching Tutorial for Web Authors and Webmasters, the first non-trivial edit in some time almost since I wrote it in 1998. That said, there aren’t any substantial changes; this is mostly tweaking and incorporation of new information.

The bigger modifications include:
- Replacing “Object” with “Representation” as appropriate
- New information on Gateway Caches and Content Delivery Networks
- Incorporation of various corrections and additional information received
- Creative Commons licensing

I’m sure there are still errors and omissions; suggestions gratefully accepted.

While I’m at it, I’d like to thank those who have sent kind words and comments; I still receive at least one e-mail a week telling me how helpful it is, or suggesting something new. Thanks!
