Reload did work, but it didn't update the cache. So the next time you still 
got the old one. Fixed.

If there is anything else let me know. 

We do need a way to cache non-cachable pages in the history btw:
E.g.If you order a book, a HTTP_POST is send out and you get a page back 
saying "thank you very much". If later, you go through the history, you would 
like to get this "thank you very much" page again. However, the http_cache 
doesn't cache it (it shouldn't) and you don't want to resend the request 
(because then you would get two books :-). Netscape sometimes gives you this 
"Item has expired form the cache" page in cases like this. (I assume it 
stores pages like this in a short-term memory cache)

Cheers,
Waldo
