Backtracking and Safari

Hi,

Safari, at least as of version 3.1.1 (5525.20) does not seem to respect the headers that control local page caching. The Safari FAQ claims to show how to do this:
http://developer.apple.com/internet/safari/faq.html#anchor5


Returning
last-modified = ("Wed, 04-Jun-2008 00:10:53 GMT");
cache-control = ("no-store, no-cache, must-revalidate, max-age=0, post- check=0, pre-check=0");
expires = ("Mon, 26 Jul 1997 05:00:00 GMT");
date = ("Wed, 04-Jun-2008 00:10:53 GMT");
pragma = ("no-cache");


still results in Safari using the local cache instead of making a trip back to the server. The Web Inspector in Safari show that it is getting these headers, but it seems to ignore them. I have reported this to Apple.

Obviously, this has rather serious implications for those of use deploying dynamic web applications. The back button is hard enough to deal with when the browser works correctly!

Any suggestions for work arounds gratefully attempted.

Chuck
