includeHTTP macro and update frequency

[Dan Mitchell]

Hey, thanks for the quick reply Lawrence.

I do run my own Frontier server so I can make the changes. Can you tell me
what the _two_ instances of the number "60" on that line are. I assume that
they might be minutes and seconds but which is which? Or is something else
going on.

By the way, I'm not sure what the "assumed use" of the macro might be.
Userland seems to be pretty vague about it ("might be useful, might not..."
;-). 

Here's how I'm using it. I'm generating some plain vanila (unformatted)
pages from a filemaker database. Then I plug these pages into Manila sites
(by including the URL-based filemaker search strings) so that they get
rendered using the Manila sites' style sheets.

It seems to work pretty well. The rendering of the database can look quite
different on two different sites.

Another cool thing about this is that I can actually render multiple
filemaker db lists (or multiple views of the same db) on the same page by
including multiple includeHTTP macros.
