Fred: It's the pictures in my mind that are getting me. It's like being stuck in a really bad movie with those Clockwork Orange clampy things on my eyeballs. Wesley: Why imagine? Reality's disturbing enough.

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.

Trying it in IE now.

Thanks for all the fish.

I'm just going to sit here and not change anything.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Okay. Now I'm trying with IE5. My previous tests were with Opera 6.04.

It redraws the page when I go back. When I posted number 145, the only other post on the page was number 144. I posted, then went back, and both posts were now on the page.

Huh. Empty. And it reloads the page, so I can see all the posts. It's set to automatically check pages. But there's nothing in the headers telling the page to refresh.

Were you using Netscape first, DX? What browser are you using, John?

Test.

[edit: when I went back, I got the same quote and my test in the box]

I was using Mozilla 1.1 first. The quote changes when I go back and forward, too.

Caching can be controlled by

  • your browser
  • your proxy
  • your network
  • your ISP

and all kinds of stuff as well as the server.

ISPs in Australia are big on caching as you might expect.
