Internet Explorer Is Unable to Open Office Documents from an SSL Web Site
Work-related, but maybe interesting for everybody else. The meat of the article is that if your website tries to serve up Word or Excel files (or, as far as I can tell, other kinds of binary files like maybe PDF) over SSL, you'd better not disable caching with "Cache-Control: no-cache".
The Common Gateway Interface - RFC Project Page
This is the repository for the effort (reactivated in November of 1997) to turn the de facto Common Gateway Interface "standard" into an actual Informational RFC. The current effort has been based upon a draft composed by David Robinson, and much of his work has survived. That draft expired in July of 1997, however
Page was last updated in August 2001.
