Browsers normally have a RAM cache as well as a disk cache for data fetched through HTTP. It sounds like you just want to turn off the disk cache and possibly increase the size of the RAM cache. I don't know how to do that, I just think it is more likely to be what you want. (I work on a proprietary web browser and I'd rather just not look at the source for other browsers than try and work out what I can and can't look at.) -- Andrew Oakley
