Approximately 20% of all responses are for validation requests where the resource has not changed. Sadly, almost 10% of responses are HTTP redirects (302 status) for pages that have moved to a new location. The high percentage of 504 responses in the IRCache data is from sibling requests that would have resulted in a cache miss. The 206 response code is used for HTTP “range” requests whereby the client requests some subset of the object data. The small percentage of 206 replies is somewhat surprising but perhaps less so given that the data was collected in March of 2000.

QuotationMarkI wanted to learn C and C++, but it didn't click for me until I picked up an O'Reilly book. When I went on the O’Reilly platform, I was astonished to find all the books there, plus live events and sandboxes so you could play around with the technology.
