I don't see how the caching could be having a different affect from one
browser to the next. What do you mean "bypassing the cache"?
I mean forced reload which tells the browser to (a) ignore its local cache
(b) don't send an If-Modified-Since header.
It's possible it's just bad browser caching. I know that firefox can be
really tricky with browser caching if you aren't careful, especially with
feeds. I know for a fact that there are times in firefox when it won't
even sent a request for a page to check 304, it will just automatically
use the browser cache, although i haven't figured out the exact conditions
for that yet.
I haven't diagnosed it yet, but I suspect it is that we are not responding
properly to some IfModified-qualified requests.
Note: There are no proxies or intermediate servers between the browser and
my dev Tomcat running on the same host.
Has anyone else seen this with IE on current 3.0 builds? I don't want to
hold anything up if it is a personal setup issue.

Is anyone else testing with IE?
I don't see the same problem with Firefox.
This is specific to 3.0. I'm not seeing this on 2.3.
I've just started looking into it, but hesitant to call this a release
candidate without it.
