Cache does not recognize changes to directory structure. Add the ability to change caching per host.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. visit above url 
2. use database username 'denken' password 'indenken' and database 'new_quiz'. Administrator information is up to you.
3. navigate back to the same url.
Actual Results:  
Caching prevents reinstalling the application without entering a specific file.

Expected Results:  
Firefox should honor the redirects in place and not cache the pages.

what are the http header for this URLs ?
The caching can't be too aggressive, it just depends on the http headers that the server sends.
