I noticed 0.8.5 loads pages from cache regardless of the 'content=no-cache' meta tag.
Yes.
Near as I can tell from the mailing list, this is by design.
Also yes.
I also found the no-cache patch for 0.8.2 and applied to 0.8.5 (by hand).
Is this the best way right now to get cache control working?
"clicking reload" works for me, on the occasions when I *do* want the freshest data. (And for pages like mailing list archives, or comments-added ones, it's handy to first see the old data, so I know where I stopped reading before I explicitly reload.) If that is insufficient for you, then yes, an external on-your-own-if-it-breaks patch is probably the way to go. (Although without having seen the patch, it should probably honour the HTTP headers rather than the meta tag. But that's a topic that doesn't need to be discussed here.) All the best, f -- Francis Daly francis@daoine.org
