Design Notes and Limitations

 
<< HTTP Protocol >> 
 
--Due to a known problem with the JAVA virtual machine, if an IP connection fails
due to unresolved DNS or IP address then that address will continue to fail even 
when the site becomes resolvable.  The JAVA VM cache retains the unresolved status 
and returns the same with each attempt to reach that affected site.  JAVA should
invalidate after a short interval, or give the programmer the option of invalidating
that information.
