PG> Thanks for the positive feedback.  Glad I could help.  You've obviously never had 
to support end-users' browsers.  Ideally every server would send the correct headers 
and we would all live in the happy town of CacheLand.  The reality is: different 
browsers interpret different headers differently and the headers themselves are almost 
as much of a crapshoot as trying to write cross-browser JavaScript.  Many sites don't 
even send the right headers or omit them outright.  Let's not forget overzealous 
caching proxies too.

Could you wrap your lines?  Thanks.

Yes, I do support a rather large community using our service, and
everything works just as expected because our server sets
expiry/nocache on select pages properly.  Seriously, if you're
building an app that expects pages to be fetched every time, then your
server should say so when it delivers the pages.

The only times this fails is when the client's clock is off by
something like a few months or more, which causes many other issues,
let alone bad cached pages, or they're using an older Opera with its
insane defaults to ignore the nocache settings (but almost nobody uses
it so it is pretty much a non-issue).
