The Whitehouse home page is referencing 9image fileswhich don't exist on the Whitehouse server. The server insteadsends back a19K byte 404 error page for each image file. The missing imageproblemseems to exist on other Web pages at the Whitehouse site also.Since noneof these error pages get cached, 190K bytes of junk is beingcontinuouslysent to visitors as they go through the Whitehouse Web site. Thisis no bigdeal for folks with broadband connections, but it dramaticallyincreases theamount of data being sent to someone on a dialup connection whichtypicallyworks only at 5K bytes per second. Without any 404 errors, aWhitehouse Webpage should only by 10K to 30K bytes in size. Richard M.
