   Dynamic pages and caching   
   09 Aug 19 00:58:16   
   
   I was just shopping groceries on a site. I searched "potato" on it and got a   
   list of results. Then I went to some other page. *Then* I happened to click   
   the Back button. Firefox showed me a "We need to resend your query to the   
   server"...blah blah. What    
   does this mean??? Can Firefox tell the difference between a static page and a   
   dynamic one? What is the relationship between dynamic pages and caching   
   exactly? If a page is dynamic, does that automatically MEAN that the server   
   needs to be hit every time    
   it's fetched? (doesn't APPEAR to be the case - there are other sites which do   
   not show this behaviour).   
   I suspect what happened was that these guys turned OFF the cache totally for   
   that page - like, why?? :) Are there going to be 2000 different varieties of   
   potatoes being added to the site/sec?? :) If you were the site maker, is there   
   some way to turn off    
   caching ONLY FOR DYNAMIC PAGES, somehow?? - just out of curiosity?? How??   
   (nasty Apache conf file fiddling, right?? :( )   
      
      
   Thanks.
