Re: /index.htm reload?

I usually use more than one cache headers just to make sure.

<META HTTP-EQUIV="Pragma" CONTENT="no-cache">
<META HTTP-EQUIV="expires" CONTENT="Wed, 26 Feb 1997 08:21:57 GMT">
<META HTTP-EQUIV="Cache-Control" CONTENT="no-cache, must-revalidate">

and if I'm using PHP, which is almost always . . .

<?php $rightnow = gmdate("D, d M Y H:i:s") . "GMT";?>
<META HTTP-EQUIV="Last-Modified" CONTENT="<?php echo $rightnow ?>">

| Yes any site without a specific webpage specified will load (depending on
