I initially thought it was a proxy issue, and pursued that. But wasn't
able to find anything concrete. It also doesn't explain why the
/~checkout~/ option gave different results. This problem occurred
suddenly. I checked with a friend at the ISP in question. FWIW, he
said they had made no proxy changes in months.

The no-cache or expires in 1s is better for situation such as what I'm
trying to do. At present, FreshPorts seems to be happy with
/~checkout~/. But I would like to know more.
thanks.
