All that implies is that the dynamic content hasn't changed. Unless the
page has data on it that you know should be different on every page load.
Browser is not obliged to reload non-cached page when a user navigates
back in browser page history. Quite the opposite, they must present
the resourse in the same state it was accessed for the first time.
Opera does not reload a page, even with cache-control settings telling
to not cache a page. MSIE reloads page when it sees "no-cache".
Firefox reloads a page when it sees "no-store" or the page is secured
by SSL and returned as "no-cache".
Usually "no-cache, no-store" is enough for most browsers, but not for Opera.
That's a useful overview, thanks Michael! I don't suppose you happen to
know a solution that doesn't break IE for file downloads do you? (If
you're not familiar with the problem, it effects downloads for file
types IE is configured to open automatically, such as Office documents;
with caching disabled IE will delete the file, as it should, but it
deletes it before trying to *open* it, so no application opens and you
get no file on disk...)
