user and the world wide web sites being visited and the Client
Software. It is designed to handle some of the HTTP requests and other
data transactions between the user's computer and the websites or other
computers on the Internet and employs compression, caching and other
transformation of some of the responses in order to increase perceived
speed of the browsing by the user. The user is advised, that the
use
of the caching may cause delivery of a “stale” response instead of a
“fresh” one, and the lossy compression may cause "blurring" of
images.
