Re[2]: Mozilla and Tomcat
You can force the response to not be cached by the browser and proxy servers by
setting headers in your jsp response before writing your html response header.
Make sure to explicitly clear your browser cache once after doing this to get
rid of any latent cached pages.
response.setHeader("Pragma", "No-cache");
response.setDateHeader("Expires", 0);
response.setHeader("Cache-Control", "no-cache");

Yeah, IE has a wicked sticky cache.

Hello.
We're getting off topic here. I have caching turned offf, however why would
mozilla print <html><body></body></html> when the JSP page doesnt produce
that (well it does, but with a load of other stuff in there!). I can
understand it caching pages, but not a page that has never been produced.
Tomcat must be doing something odd. Perhaps it is indeed returning just:
<html><body></body></html> when it's rebuilt a page recently?
I dunno, but it's a server problem not a caching problem IMHO.
