IE 6 cache bug??

[ptbernar]

Has anybody else experienced this problem?

I'm setting the response headers in my JSP pages to contain the following entries:

Cache-Control=private, max-age=0
Expires=-1

Adding these prevents the browser from caching pages, while still allowing me to use the back/forward buttons correctly.

The bug seems to be occurring whenever a new window is openend from IE, if I open a popup window, then go back to the parent window and click the back button, the browser performs another GET request on the page? Regardless of the headers, I thought that the browser back button always used local copies. Has anyone ever experienced anything like this before?

Thanks to anyone who can help.

This is a program that fixes serious bugs in the Internet Explorer cache manager (versions 3.0
on up through and including Internet Explorer for Windows XP, and IE6). This program basically
takes over the job of managing the cache from Internet Explorer, and the result is your web
browsing session will be more enjoyable. CacheSentry isn't like those "web acceleration"
programs that hook into IE and attempt to make guesses about your browsing habits. CacheSentry
simply does a better job of removing files from the cache, and fixes a few other bugs present in
most versions of Internet Explorer.
