|    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.              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
