Hi gang

Answers to some FAQs:

  1. grading: your final grade in lab will be determined using the 
     scheme described on the lab page. A letter grade will be assigned
     based on that grade. However, if your project generally works, 
     even if you fail a couple of tests, you will likely end up with an
     A. We are grading based on how much you have learned and that you
     can get a project to work, not that you have passed all the tests.
     In real world, you would have had more time to test your system.
  2. testing webproxy: webproxy will be tested by
       1) examining your code to make sure you actually do caching and 
          nonblocking.
       2) running it with lynx and perl scripts to get HTML files from 
          servers using different headers. 
     I don't have a test suite.
