#3 installation on mod-pubsub.org:9000 causes a lot of traffic

[Paul Westbrook]

The installation of mod_pubsub on mod-pubsub.org:9000
causes a lot of web traffic unnecessarily

I updated my blog and this caused it to be added to
syndic8.com. It looks like then it was added to the
list of data on mod-pubsub.org

It looks like there is a machine that has loaded
http://mod-pubsub.org:9000/tests/rss_scroller.html?debug=false

It also appears that this person has their browser set
to not cache images.

Every time that this page is updated, their browser
reloads the images on the page.

The code in mod_pubsub could protect against this. It
could only include image links when it appears in the
first n items on a page. Then in the worst case, each
browser would only load the image n times.
