newspapers are increasingly instructing browsers not to cache stories
& Lynx 2-8-2dev.19 complies, eg a head request from today's Washington Post:
HTTP/1.1 200 OK
Server: Netscape-Enterprise/3.6
Date: Fri, 10 Sep 1999 13:25:45 GMT
Expires: Fri, 10 Sep 1999 13:25:46 GMT
Cache-Control: no-cache
Set-cookie: RMID=8064a00137d906d0; expires=Fri, 31-Dec-2010 23:59:59 GMT; path=
/; domain=.washingtonpost.com
Content-type: text/html
Connection: close
[PW] if you follow the link again, Lynx seeks it again via the Internet,
which is a regular nuisance: how can I tell Lynx to ignore Cache-Control?
but the original inquirer should presumably set Cache-Control as above.
