hi

there is just one thing that keeps me from using OmniWeb. It doesn't cache php pages. When you use the back button, it reloads the entire page, each and every time. I know, php and asp are supposed to give you the latest and greatest news whenever you visit the page, but please not when I push the back button. Anybody reading the Timezone forum probably knows what I'm talking about. The index page of a forum is very large, and after reading a thread you usually hit the back button to get back to the index. Camino and Opera are the only two browsers that get the index page out of the cache again (but on Extremetech, even Camino fails).

Maybe these sites use a "don't cache this page" directive, but honestly, I'm the one to decide whether I want to see a cached page or not. Reading forums is not fun when you have to wait several seconds for the index page to reload after every thread. When I want to see the new articles, I can always hit refresh manually.

Before starting to use Camino (for that single feature alone), I got used to loading the threads in a new tab, so I could simply close the tab and be back at the index quickly (which is just a concession that the back button does not work).

Please, OmniGroup, let me fetch php and asp pages from the cache when I use the back button!
