Helder,

I remember in my past corporate life (developing Oracle apps for an
Intranet) that I had to have users change their browser's default
caching setting to guarantee that the browser always pulled up a fresh
copy of each application page rather than using the cached copy from a
previous page visit.  At the time, I doubt I knew enough about response
headers to tell the browser not to cache the application pages, but I
think that's easily solved with an appropriate header entry in the
application response pages with what I now know.  However, the nocache
parameter in Qooxdoo does make sure that this is never a problem.  Call
it insurance, if you will.

Opting for the first choice of allowing but ignoring the nocache
parameter, I think I'd just as well leave the Qooxdoo implementation
alone and let it send the nocache parameter anyway.

I don't see it as a problem as long as I specify that parameter in my
Oracle procedure - it would be available in the input parameters to the
procedure but never used in any code processing.

Thanks again,

   Gene
