Re: RePost: NAT and the CART

interpreted = N
texte = This is getting really interesting now. I understand that WebCat is not dependent on the IP Address of the visitor, but that makes me wonder how it (or the Web server) can possibly tell the difference from one visitor to the next without referring to the IP? Christer's last comment makes the most sense, in that a proxy server is probably caching the requested page and serving it to all the browsers on the LAN, with a cart number already hard-coded into the page. And is it true that any IP-based shopping cart system will fail in this way when visited via a LAN using NAT?-- Gil Poulsen, Webmaster************************************************************** * AltiM@c * Phone: (908) 222-9001 * * 111 Mali Drive * FAX: (908) 222-9002 * * North Plainfield, NJ * e-mail: help@altimac.com * * 07062-2355 * WWW: http://www.altimac.com * **************************************************************
