Oh yes - this does the job - thank you very much - I don't see this
in the documents.

Is there a (Beta) version of 3.0? With your hint WWW_http_GATEWAY I'll
do some work on it.
But this is only the first step.
Now I can create a "global" cache (not only for GNN).
But what to do with the cache after some times (days, ours ??).
The GNN solution: GNN will give updates to local distributors (weekly).
If my cache runs it could be a remove of all expired documents - the
list of expired documents I get from GNN - I hope.
This is a special solution but a good one for such a big but stable
document tree.
If I have a TTL value per file I could reget it if the value expires
or better get first only the Last-Modified: Expires:Content-Length:
but the serve must be able to give it to me.

Oh yes - thats what I want. Is there a server who gives me that for a file
without the file itself?
