In Netscape 4.x, Shift-Reload forces a complete reload of a page
regardless of what is in the caches.  I find this very usefull
sometimes; for example, on some web  cams, and when working on a
web page to make sure updated files are loaded.  In Moz 0.9.5 there
seems to be no equivalent, or am I missing it?

Have you tried shift + reload?

Yes.

Ctrl+reload?

Nope.  But, in desperation, I started hitting the function keys.  F5 does a
normal reload, Control-F5 forces a complete reload, regardless of the
caches.  Problem solved!

Not exactly an HTTP guru, but what's the difference here? I understand the Shifting is a " Mega " reload, but what does it do at the server level?
