Who helps to made this program.

Stefan Muller

Donates working keyboard and cool Zyxel 14k4 modem with display, SCSI 1GB harddrive, ISA IDE hard-drive controller.

Monika Schilling

Donates HOT-433 486 Mainboard.

Allan Holm

Donates 486/100 and 486/33 motherboards with memory. 486/100 motherboard died after one month, but 486/33 allows me to continue in developing of my programs. 486/33 is quite slow machine, because needs 4 waitstates for accessing the memory, which is not in cache (board has 256KB). This makes memory-access intensive taks a very slowly.

Compiling Smart Cache takes 4.5 minutes (5.5 when running X with Netscape). Because Smart Cache needs to be very often recompiled when developing, i think that Javasoft need slightly optimize javac for speed. I know about Jikes, but I do not have a Linux version of it and OS/2 for some strange reasons dont boot on this board. Recompiling Linux 2.2 kernel with egcs 1.1.2 takes 6.5 hours! Linux 2.0 kernel with gcc-2.7.2.3 (do not works when compiled with egcs) takes only 2.5 hours.

Carsten Thorenz

2 lines of code for tracing Blocked requests (keyword fail_trace)

Sergey Levin

Discovers that SC do not removes Expires headers as it should. (I do not look at this part of code for years.)

Klaus Nitsch

His request forced me to finally implement (done after 5 minutes of coding) long planed cookies filer.

Petr Buric

Find very hard to detect bug in Smart Cache 0.19. Without him, I will never find it.

Petr Brouzda

Idea about sending empty HTML documents (rc=200) as custom error messages, sending rc=403 broke pages with embedded JavaScript.

Radek Babis

sends me a demo copy of WinProxy.

Martin Konicek

Discovered SC use as front-end cache for browser and writes utility for running Smart Cache in Windows/systray.
