What if you use HTTP headers, like "Pragma: no-cache" (the simplest) or "If-Modified-Since: ...."? I don't know how to tell a browser like Mozilla to use such a header (I would have thought they'd do it when you hit shift-reload...), but you can easily do it with wget or curl (at one point, curl even added a "Pragma: no-cache" header by default, which drove me crazy when a cache I was testing never seemed to use the cached content and always fetched new content). -- Nadav Har'El | Tuesday, Apr 9 2002, 27 Nisan 5762 [EMAIL PROTECTED] |----------------------------------------- Phone: +972-53-245868, ICQ 13349191 |How do you get holy water?
