What reason is there for local content to ever be cached? In development, often most testing is local. This necessitates extra steps to ensure everything is refreshed every time an edit is made. | What reason is there for local content to ever be cached? In development, often most testing is local.

Some files don't get cleared for a page that is currently open. This problem has plagued Firefox for years. Where it is most noticeable is with Flash apps that load multiple Flash files. The subsequent SWF files are NEVER cleared from the cache unless the user closes the window or navigates away from the page the files are on. This makes for extra steps in clearing in the cache for every edit. As a developer I have to explain this process repeatedly to many clients and colleagues. They are either confused or frustrated by the issue. | |||
