caching proxy

 * Weak keep I'll admit I'm not convinced this is more than a proxy (server) that caches, but I'm not sure that gets across everything that a caching proxy does. It doesn't just squirrel away the cached data, it uses it to produce a local version of frequently used websites, which clients then interact with instead of using the actual website. A standard proxy server that makes detailed logs of sites accessed through it would not be a caching proxy, even though it would technically be a proxy that caches.

 * Then maybe our definition of cache needs improving. A cache is exactly that, it stores websites locally so they don't need to be reloaded from the Internet. -- Liliana • 14:51, 30 October 2012 (UTC)


 * This isn't something we can add to cache. But even though it has specific details like that, I would still say it is SOP. For example bicycle wheel is completely SOP despite the fact that the wheels on a bicycle are designed in a completely different way then the wheels on a rolly chair. --WikiTiki89 15:00, 30 October 2012 (UTC)
 * Seems like a delete. I'm not big on computing, but the definition does seem to say it's a proxy that caches. Perhaps we should just believe the definition and delete the entry accordingly. Mglovesfun (talk) 00:33, 1 November 2012 (UTC)


 * It seems reasonably safe to delete this. DAVilla 01:23, 1 November 2012 (UTC)

Moved from a separate section below:

 * Struck as already listed above. DAVilla 12:57, 2 December 2012 (UTC)
 * Keep it, as it is a proxy type. --Sae1962 (talk) 13:05, 7 January 2013 (UTC)
