On Windows, I develop WebKit sites with IE & OneShot.cgi and simply hit reload after I make changes. Everything works fine. However, on Linux, both Mozilla and Galeon always give back the same page when I reload even though they seem to churn through the CGI script. Konqueror gives me back a new page, but loses the last set of POSTed variables thereby causing other problems. In all cases, completely quitting the brower and restarting works, but that's obviously painful. I tried adding this to SitePage, but it didn't help: def awake(self, trans): Page.awake(self, trans) setHeader = self.response().setHeader setHeader('Cache-Control', 'no-cache') setHeader('Expires', '0') setHeader('Pragma', 'no-cache') What browser do you guys use for developing WebKit sites on Linux? Do you have this reload problem? Do you use OneShot? -Chuck |

I haven't quite figured it, but there's something weird with Mozilla/Galeon and reloading pages created from POST. It just doesn't seem to do it. I usually go back and resubmit. There's still something about Netscape 4.x, despite all it's lameness, that keeps me coming back from time to time. It's just so much more responsive than all the modern browsers, even IE (though Opera could probably win me over if I gave it a chance).

I haven't tried their last major release, since it's still alpha. I tried their previous stable release on Linux and it does a very poor job at rendering.

I agree. Reload should mean reload. And with all those no-cache headers I put in, it should _really_ mean reload. But read on...

It's not a perfect world, but if I can hit Shift+click to really reload a page (instead of just pretending to!), then I can carry on with Linux. I almost contemplated a return to Windows. I reload all the time as I refine my web apps. I never realized how much until now. -Chuck |

I can only recommend galeon 1.0 to all of you seeking for a better Linux browser. It combines the speed of NN4 with the superior rendering engine and privacy functions of Mozilla with added bonuses like "Auto Bookmarks" (bookmarking all open windows in case of a - rather rare - crash), the best bookmark editor/handling I have seen so far in ANY browser on x86 OSes, completely Mouse-configurable UI and arbitrary mixing of tabbed and windowed browsing. I guess once it gets to version 1.1, finishing off some more small bugs, I'll probably daresay its better than IE. Regards, Fionn |

I suppose you already tried forcing mozilla to not look at it's page cache? You can tell it to always fetch a fresh copy everytime. I haven't really had this problem, and I use mozilla most of the time. jack. |

You can tell it to always fetch a fresh copy everytime. No, but this was just when I hit the reload button (on a page from POST), so the cache shouldn't be involved... but then, maybe it is even though it shouldn't be. Though, now that I think about it, I'm not sure I'm having the problems I was as of a couple of the latest versions of Galeon (and hence the latest versions of Mozilla). But the memory is vague.

Netscape on Windows used to have an option to explicitly ignore cached versions of a page when reloading. You had to hold the shift key down while clicking the reload button. That probably went away a long time ago ... worth a shot. |
