Could be an Atlas problem, in 2.01 after loading a page with that header the
'Document Info' option says:
(...)
Source: Not cached
Local cache file: None
(...)
I guess that's working...
Other related metter, I've been looking for a list of things that can go as
HTTP-EQUIV. More exactlly I'm looking for the way to expire a page at a
certain date, I tryed the obvious
<META HTTP-EQUIV="Expires" CONTENT="Tue Apr 23 12:32:11 GMT 1996">
But Netscape keeps telling me "No date given"...
I searched high and low for such a list but I couldn't find one.
