Summary0009735: Again caching problems: Browser displays old pages
Description

What I did:
Browser A: show bug XXX
Browser B: add note NNN to bug XXX
Browser A: show bug XXX again

What I expected:
A sees NNN

What I saw:
A sees old bug page without NNN. Pressing "Refresh" does not change this.
A sees NNN after
a) adding a bugnote NNN2 to XXX, or
b) pressing CTRL-Refresh

I can reproduce it with IE 6.0, but not with Firefox 3.0, Firefox 1.5.
Users have reported the same problem with IE 7.0.6000.16735 and Firefox 1.8.20071.12718.
I can reproduce it without using a proxy.
I got to know this after upgrading to 1.1.4, it can be reproduced on http://demo.mantisbt.org.

I can't reproduce this in any browser that I can test (IE6, Firefoxes, Opera, all on Linux). The view bug pages should never be cached by any browser anyways because of the headers we send for them, which is "Cache-Control: no-store, no-cache, must-revalidate" and an expiration matching the access time, and I've never seen a browser misbehave on these types of pages.

However, while I can't speak much for the demo because I don't know how it's set up, I will remind you that you should not set the $g_allow_browser_cache configuration variable.

With $g_allow_browser_cache=ON there was this expiration date, which was seemingly ignored by IE6,
without $g_allow_browser_cache the issue is fixed.

Thus, sorry again, a configuration problem. The only strange thing is that this has not been reported before v1.1.4.
