RE: cache issue

["Pawson, David" <Da...@rnib.org.uk>]

Using ie6, when I use the 'previous page' link from the browser,
the request.getHeader("referer") value is untrue.
If I link through a site, A -> B -> C then back to B,
the 'referer' value still shows A.

Has anyone resolved this please?

regards DaveP

    Hi Steven,
    
    I have to use this hack to fix an MS IE bug that didn't 
    reload correctly page that are opened as modal windows, but 
    you should not do this for normal pages except if you find 
    a bug in a product you don't have any control.
    
    I don't have any problems like this with apache 
    2/mod_jk2/tomcat 5.0.28 but we have http meta no-cache in our jsps.
