The browser can append to the request a ‘no-cache’ option and other  
options. Firefox sets this if you do a refresh with the shift key down  
(at least on the Mac).

I am considering expiring all of my fragments that are cached for that  
particular request before proceeding with the request if no-cache has  
been specified.

I was wondering what others are doing (if anything).

Thank you,
