When I enter "view-source:http://some.url.com/" in the URL bar and hit enter, it shows the source of the URL but if I reload the window by pushing the reload button in the toolbar it just shows the cached HTML source and doesn't really reload the source from the remote URL.

Even after I opened the URL in another browser window, entering "view-source:http://some.url.com/" in the URL bar still gives the HTML source cached at the first time I entered the URL in the URL bar.

You can see this happen on any dynamically generated page that returns different contents each time loaded.
