User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.9a8pre) Gecko/2007083115 Minefield/3.0a8pre
Build Identifier: 

After the checkin for bug 294800, the dir listing uses data from cache. If I go for example to ftp://ftp.eu.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/firefox/tinderbox-builds/ the Last modified time and date aren't updated. Only after a reload I receive the actual modify date.
It looks like all data comes from cache. I think FTP/File/Jar/Gopher dir listings shoulden't be cached.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Go to a ftp://ftp site witch uptates frequently
2. revisit this site after 1 hour
3. check the modify dates
4. press refresh
5. check the modify dates again
Actual Results:  
Only after step 4 the modify dates are the actuals


Expected Results:  
The modify dates are by every visit the actuals

Confirming bug based on comment 1. However, I don't know how bug 294800 could have caused this. Is this really a regression?
