We found this info...
Safari supports server-side caching directives... not the meta tag
Check out number five on my FAQ
-http://developer.apple.com/internet/safari/faq.html#anchor5
Why?
Why does only support server-side caching directives when it appears
other browsers like FireFox, IE support meta tag. Seems like this will
cause many backend systems to not support Safari since it market share
is 5% and probably many assume it works since it works in Firefox & IE
and probably can't justify development development time for it.
We probably will file a bug (feature request) on this.

Have you tried testing the Safari 3 Public Beta on 10.4.10 to see if
the issue
is resolved in there?

You might also take a look at the wKiosk browser, which uses WebKit
to render
web pages (the same engine that Safari uses):

Hello:
Sorry, if this isn't the best list to post this issue/question, but
here it goes...
Our Library recently migrated to Automated Retrieval Center (ARC)
<http://www.lib.utah.edu/libraryinfo/construct/newprogramareas/arc.html
that uses our library catalog (i.e. Horizon ) to requests
materials. We have been running into issues where only one requests
get sent on our Kiosks which are running Mac OS X 10.4.10 with Safari
2.0.4 (419.3) we believe we tracked down the issue to the following
meta tag not being supported by Safari and FireFox on Mac OS X &
Windows, but works with IE on Windows.
We had the developer add the following meta tags, and got FireFox to
work properly, but Safari still isn't working...
<META HTTP-EQUIV="Expires" CONTENT="0">
<META HTTP-EQUIV="Pragma" CONTENT="no-cache">
<META HTTP-EQUIV="Cache-Control" CONTENT="no-cache">
There is also this suggestion:
http://mailman1.u.washington.edu/pipermail/pubcookie-dev/2004-March/000755.html
Change the Cache-Control header to:
Cache-Control: no-store, no-cache, must-revalidate
In HTML, that might look like this (I'm not sure):
<meta http-equiv="cache-control" content="no-store, no-cache, must-
revalidate">
You could also try this:
<meta http-equiv="cache-control" content="max-age=0, no-store, no-
cache, must-revalidate">
Anybody run into this and have suggestions?
If we don't get this resolved we will need to re-script our kiosk
setup and migrate to FireFox, which will take some work and testing
and we would rather stick with Safari if possible.
