Ahh.... see, that wasn't clear in the question. Yeah... that's true.
Pain in the ass those proxies. They're also realy useful while
testing your (dynamic) site. NOT!!! "Hey, what's this? I thought I'd
realy changed that error. How's this possible?", "Didn't I just
change the background-color? Why is it still the same?"
BECAUSE THE DAMN PROXY DOESN'T WANT TO SHOW YOU THE NEW VERSION.
No... cache, cache, cache... Damn things always come up with pages
that are (way) to old!
But anyway... that's not what this was about (just my own
frustration). But I just don't use the proxy nomore. Only for
testing things like REMOTE_ADDR etc.
But thank you for specifying the question. And eh, you're right. I
just didn't know the question was about this problem.
