I was using the Live HTTP Headers FF extension to see what gets sent back to the browser when using m.newsgator.com to see if the stale pages I was seeing on the Palm Pre were a browser problem.

Right now, the only cache/expiration-related header that the server's returning is "Cache-Control: private". This is appropriate, since this URL is specific to the user. However, this isn't sufficient to tell the browser that it needs to reload the page from the server whenever it's newly requested.

This really should also have either the no-cache or must-revalidate Cache-control action. That will tell the browser that it should check back with the NG server before displaying the page. Sending an Expires header with the page with a date that matches the page generation date would also do this. Right now, there's nothing that lets the Pre's browser know that it shouldn't just serve the stale page from the cache again.

Thank you for taking the time to look into this. I did the same thing using Fiddler and experienced the same behavior you described in your post.

At this time I will submit a case to have our development team change this behavior. I will keep you informed as I receive more details to the progress of changing this.

(Case# 166209)
