Any cache-instructions on the request are really for intermediate caches and proxies only. The webserver itself doesn't do anything with them. If you send an unconditional fetch, you will get a document served. I don't know if an explicit refresh will cause the browser to do conditional gets or not, but it probably will. /Per Jessen, Zürich -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
