Greetings,
I've been using both Mozilla 0.8.1 and the latest nightlies which have
the new cache enabled. I've been noticing a different behaviour between
the new cach and the old one as well as NN4. The new cache actually
caches the output of CGI and displays them, when clicking on a link
pointing to a CGI (a simple GET request w/ query string info.). Mozilla
0.8.1 and earlier as well as other browsers usually hit the server each
time the same CGI URL is requested. This is because by defualt CGI out
output does not include the last-modified header info. And from what I
understand that is the standard, expected behaviour. Is the new cache
breaking/changing this behaviour?
Here's the thing, if I have an anchor pointing to a CGI w/ query string
and such, the standard behavior I expect is for the browser to hit the
server again for output from that URL.
I'm wondering if anyone else has noticed this or thinks this may be an
issue.
Some info: I have the cache set on "compare cache once per session" for
NN4, 0.8.1 and the latest mozilla nightly. Yet I see this different
behavior between the new cache and the other browsers.
I apologize if I missed anything on this topic that might explain it.
thanks
narbey
