Hi all
Actually, I've noticed problems like this with V for some time now.
I'm using V3.2.13 and that sometimes loads a cached page rather than
reload a new one. I often have problems on internet shopping sites,
where clicking 'add to basket' adjusts my cookie to reflect the
product ordered, but because the url for the on-the-fly page is the
same, it looks like I haven't added anything to the basket.
And I wrote a basic user log in perl script for my website which
worked in exactly the way you describe. I set the header to
expires='now'. Perhaps V doesn't understand this command?
anyway, V didn't
like it (worked perfectly with IE) but also clicking on reload
sometimes threw up an error from my code, as if it was sending the
request, but not all the parameters from the form.
I never bothered investigating further because everyone who uses it
does so with IE, which works OK. I thought it was probably poor
coding on my behalf.
