login status cached?

Hi,

I have this problem when using roller version 3.0:

   1. I open my weblog (theme == basic) and I do not see the 'edit' link
      between the category name and the 'comments' link under every blog
      entry (this is normal!)
   2. I click the 'login' link (= last link in navigation tree)
   3. I execute a valid login and now I see the 'new entry' page (still
      normal behavior)
   4. I click the link on the top of this page to go to my weblog once
      again and now this page still shows me the 'login' link and does
      not show me the 'edit' link under every weblog entry until I
      execute a refresh of this page (ctrl+F5). Now I see the page in
      the 'logged in' status.


The same happens in the 'logout' direction

   1. When logged in, I click the 'logout' link on my weblog and I'm
      redirected to the central aggregate page of the website
   2. I click one of the links that point to my weblog page and I'm
      redirected to this page that is still shown in its 'logged in'
      status. Here again a refresh (ctrl+F5) puts this page back to normal)

Can someone tell me what I have to do to solve this problem?

Thx,

Jef

The behavior is most definited not wanted and very irritating.

When you're logged in, Roller should not send 304 for pages and it use
HTTP headers to indicate do-not cache, expire immediately, private
pages, etc.

You're right, the behavior is expected but can you say that this 
behavior is wanted? If it is, then, there's nothing to resolve. But I 
think that we should try to make roller as transparent as possible for 
its users and therefore, we should try to make it function without using 
that extra refresh.

Well, there isn't really a problem to resolve.  This behavior is 
actually expected.

The reason this happens is because Roller is sending a 304 NOT MODIFIED 
response for the 2nd, 3rd, etc times that you request the page which 
tells your browser that the page has not changed.  That's why it appears 
that the page hasn't changed until you do a forced refresh.
