To my mind it's the browser. This is a simple trick I use when egating the caching in IE for instance. Stick a space on the end of the url and IE thinks it's a new one but blindly strips them before getting the same refreshed page. This works with any server and any page on that server btw.

README.TXT is a text file, | formatted so it will render nicely in structured text. | It does this in the management interface for the PathHandler product, | but the < and > aren't quoted properly. | I wonder why that is? | | Hmmm... anyone know what happened to StructuredTextNG? | | Anyway, README.TXT is primarily designed as a text file, and | <dtml-var path_to_handle> isn't very easy to read when viewing a | text file ;-) | So, I guess someone needs to fix Zope for at least one and maybe both of | your problems to go away. | | Any ideas? | | cheers, | | Chris | | _______________________________________________ | Zope-Dev maillist - Zope-Dev@zope.org | http://lists.zope.org/mailman/listinfo/zope-dev | ** No cross posts or HTML encoding! ** | (Related lists - | http://lists.zope.org/mailman/listinfo/zope-announce | http://lists.zope.org/mailman/listinfo/zope )
