From 4dcea6207d03fcdc25bc1c172d69c30673b7254a Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Joey Hess Date: Wed, 31 Mar 2010 17:51:46 -0400 Subject: [PATCH] page.tmpl: Add Cache-Control must-revalidate to ensure that users (especially of Firefox) see fresh page content. Since Firefox version 3, it's done aggressive caching of visited pages, and does not, by default, check if the cached content is still valid when reloading or revisiting a page. By default, Firefox seems to not re-contact the web server at all. Compare with eg, Epiphany and Chromium, which appear to always check, and get back a 304 when the page is unchanged. This header makes Firefox do the right thing, at least for html files. It still over-caches if css, javascript, images, etc, are changed. --- debian/changelog | 2 ++ templates/page.tmpl | 1 + 2 files changed, 3 insertions(+) diff --git a/debian/changelog b/debian/changelog index 5ec52d3c0..bbca7cffe 100644 --- a/debian/changelog +++ b/debian/changelog @@ -23,6 +23,8 @@ ikiwiki (3.20100324) UNRELEASED; urgency=low * openid: Use Openid Simple Registration or OpenID Attribute Exchange to get the user's email address and username.
