Darn it, I figured you could fix it if anybody could..

A server is supposed to indicate somehow (I don't know) that an entire document has been sent. If it indicates the document was sent correctly, it is cached. If it isn't sent correctly, it isn't cached.

The Audi server sends a truncated document, then says it was complete, so the incomplete document is cached.

Bad files, that's all... nothing I can do.

Seattle Scott

use them to store local copies of popular web pages (newspapers, trade mags, company information) to reduce external calls to the Internet andspeed up local response.

If you request a web page and the proxy server sees that page in it's cache you get the cached page unless the cache life has been exceeded or you click on the reload/refresh button on your web browser.

IP (Internet Protocol had two means of transport, TCP (Transmission Control Protocol) and UDP (User Data Protocol?) TCP is used for reliable data transfer, i.e. you acknowledge reception of the data or the sender resends it, UDP is used for unreliable, fast transmissionof data, e.g. a movie, a missle launch in a game, something where you don't want to wait and get the lost piece of data.

If something was corrupted in the cache you should be able to reload it via a browser command.

The Audi Tech web server should have the most often called documents copied into it's RAM for fast access than the hard drives.

At least that's a fat and probably inaccurate description.

Anyway, please look at my post a little lower, there are a few PDF files neither myself or Muhammad can load correctly.

Thanks

First one is missing one picture.
Second one (a460002), views perfectly for me.

Here's the text of it:
--
Condition
Brake pedal pulsation when braking, steering
wheel shimmy when braking may be in-fluenced
by the following factors.
*Suspension components (ball joints, bush-ings,
tie rods, etc.)
*Brake rotor/hub run-out / Brake rotor thick-ness
variation
Service
Check suspension components (control arm
bushings, front struts, ball joints, tie rods, etc.)
for wear.
If components check OK and rotor/hub runout
is found:
Resurface rotors using the RTI BRC40
on-the-vehicle brake lathe.
Note:
RTI BRC40 on-the-vehicle brake lathe is
available from Equipment Solutions.
46-A075
Brake rotors, resurfacing with
on-the-vehicle brake lathe
- Remove front wheels.
- Measure rotor thickness (must be of
sufficient thickness to allow resurfacing
without going below minimum specification
set in Repair Manual).
- Mark (index) hub & rotor with a center punch.
- Remove brake calipers (Remove/installing
calipers, see Front brakes servicing in the
appropriate Repair Manual).
- Remove rotor and clean hub to rotor
mounting surfaces, reinstall rotor (line up
index marks).
- Clean brake caliper mounting points.
Note:
Illustration is used for reference to procedure
only. Actual suspension view may differ from
what is shown.
- Install on-the-vehicle brake lathe.
- Resurface rotor.
Note:
NEVER! resurface rotors below minimum
specifications (wear limit)! See appropriate
Repair Manual for specifications.
- Remove brake lathe.
- Repeat procedure to other rotor.
- Install front brake calipers.
- Install wheels (lugbolt torque = 120Nm (89ft.
lbs).
When procedure applies to vehicles with-in
the New Vehicle Limited Warranty, use

Third one also fine, the text is:

Condition
Slight high pitched whining noise can be
heard (at times) through the Symphony radio
when radio is in AM mode and the
headlights/running lights are on.
May be caused by a generated frequency
from the instrument cluster illumination circuit.
Production
New instrument cluster software level
introduced Beginning VIN: 4D_YN012760.
Instrument clusters with new software level
can be identified by the label (D29) affixed to
the side of the cluster.
Service
- Review Repair Manual CD-ROM, Electrical
equipment, Group 01 - On Board Diagnostic
(OBD), Input values for replacing instrument
cluster.
Note:
*This section contains important information
regarding instrument cluster coding, adapta-tion
of fuel gauge, odometer, data bus, im-mobilizer
and vehicle keys etc. when replac-ing
instrument cluster!
- Record vehicle odometer reading.
- Connect VAG 1551 Scan tool or VAS 5051
diagnostic tool.
- Obtain SRI reading, see Repair Manual
CD-ROM, Electrical equipment, Group 90 -Instrument
Cluster removing and installing.
- Obtain instrument cluster coding (for
comparison when coding new cluster).
(Cont. on Page 2)
- Install new instrument cluster with software
level D29 see Repair Manual CD-ROM,

cluster, Removing and installing.
Note:
Instrument cluster Part No: 4D0 919 931FX is
unchanged, only the software level is changed
to D29.
CAUTION!

Downloaded to disk on a Powerbook G4 through 802.11b (AirPort) through NAT on a 1.5mb DSL connection.

I'll mail the files to you two if you want.

On my two machines in NY I run NT4 since some programs that I need to run to get anything done totally conflict with W2K Pro... but here in AZ I'm on a W2K Pro machine on a T1 w/IE5.5 and simply can't load the second file, and the thrid is just the header and footer, with nothing in-between... first loads except for the image... gives an error.

Once I get home I'll try to remember to track down this thread and test them there... it is always all about configurations.

Bollinger

Downloaded all 3 on Win 2K Pro SP1 with IE 5.5. Using Acrobat Reader 4.05. No problems at all here, the first document even has all the pictures in this case.

Just went to the tech page, right clicked, selected 'save target as', then when it finished downloading, clicked the open button in the download window.

Downloaded from Win 2K Pro SP1 over 100Base-T through 1.5Mb DSL connection (no NAT in this loop).

Bollinger

I'm having no problems with the documents in question. They all download and open fine. I just checked them on a Mac G4 PB and a Win 2K Pro SP 1 box.

Sounds like we have the same setup Muhammad, assuming you have a full copy of Acrobat, not just the reader. One of those "bad" files was driving my memory usage up to 400meg ! Anyway,

Fire up Adobe Acrobate.
Choose File > Preferences > General.
Deselect Web Browser Integration in the Options section and then click OK.
Exit from the Acrobat 4.0x.
Paste a URL for a Tech Bulletin into your browser.
Save the file to disk. Be careful, the transfer from the VW server looks flakey, I had to try the downloads about three times for each document. I saw the download progress bar just hang a few times.
Once you get a "smooth" download as seen by the progress bar try opening the file.
Things should be fine.

If I'm curious I could try this on NT Server and Win98 tomorrow.

Are you running a slow 56k or less connection Steve? I could run a long term ping test on the vw server too, for kicks, maybe not.

Seattle Scott

That's the key Steve, we were opening the file directly and not saving first.
