IE is a web browser which uses a library for retrieving network content
and then caches that information, libcurl is a library for retrieving
network content. libcurl does not provide a caching mechanism for
content retrieved, that is left to your application (e.g. IE). You could
use for instance the free library BDB (
http://www.oracle.com/database/berkeley-db/index.html ), flat files, or
MySQL ( www.mysql.com ) to store the retrieved content, and then check
if the content has been retrieved already before calling libcurl.
