I maintain a very customized catalog where the customers frequently receive an empty cart at checkout with the Mac/Safari web browser. I don't have easy access to Safari/Mac but when I tried it once I was noticing the cart, basket.html in this catalog, would get cached and might not reflect recently added items. Since this problem happens frequently for this store, I am wondering why there has been almost no discussion of it on this list (only a few posts earlier in the year), and if maybe somehow this catalog is more vulnerable to the problem,
Are you getting a whole bunch of HTTP HEAD requests from those same visitors? I've seen that from Mac/Safari (well, we *think* Mac/Safari. It's possible it could be WWW::Mechanize or something similar using a spoofed UA -- but the behavior usually looks more like human browsing with a browser that stupidly likes to check all links on each page visited). Interchange currently treats HEAD basically the same as a GET -- which means those visitors might get strange results since it is as if they were clicking every link on every page they visit, as far as the Interchange session is concerned. -John Young _______________________________________________ interchange-users mailing list suppressed http://www.icdevgroup.org/mailman/listinfo/interchange-users
