Details

(Whiteboard: 1d) 

Using M13 on nt and linux.  Accessing a java servlet generated web page that 
contains the setDateHeader method to add an Expires header to the response, 
using the code; setDateHeader("Expires", 0L).  We use this to force the browser 
to always get the web page from the server and never get it form the cache.  
Mozilla M13 seems to be getting a cached copy because the page never changes by 
either hitting the URL again or by using the reload button.  Netscape and IE 
always retrieve the latest copy from the server.  Not sure if it is relevant, 
but Mozilla displays "ERROR getting Histoy state for the key" in the console.  
Once i shut down Mozilla and restart the browser, then it gets the latest copy 
from the server.
