[Privoxy-users] Bug? In the manual...

[Ian Silvester]

Thanks Marc (and apologies for calling you Marco in my last response!),

Could you point to where the manual makes this allusion to
cache-clearing? At this point it does sound more like a browser issue
during Privoxy setup, but indeed if the page headers aren't correct then
it might be failing to inform the browser not to use a cached copy.

Cheers,

ian
