Hi, although caching mostly is good, there is serveral occasions when it's not wanted, specially with todays web2.0-concepts (user generated pages, etc.).

Is there a way to disable caching in dillo? Maybe only for some sites?

I've searched the archives and found a patch doing this, it was however dated back in 2003. So I'm intrested in som up-to-date information.

To the best of my knowledge, - no one is working on it - but a good patch would be gladly accepted.

Was there any discussion in the archive on why the 2003 patch wasn't integrated?

AFAIR, at that time most of the no-cache directives were used to refresh advertising, and some sites did it by refreshing the main page each time. Besides the bandwith/money waste (nasty with pay-per-traffic billing), it killed offline-browsing. Now, being able to follow no-cache "only for some sites" may be useful as a feature. Personally, I believe most of the web2.0 sites will not work with dillo until some javascript subset is implemented. -- Cheers Jorge.-
