(...) Wicked excellent. I'm going to try that. So the cookie rationale there is to avoid having cookies accidentally set twice, yes? In case one of the caching entities isn't smart enough to automatically not cache pages containing set-cookie (...) (24 years ago, 9-Aug-00, to lugnet.publish, lugnet.off-topic.geek)

(...) Here's what I do to guarantee no caching: void printCGIheader(){ printf("Content-type: text/html\n"); printf("Expires: 0\n"); printf("Cache-control: no-cache\n"); printf("Pragma: no-cache\n"); printf("\n"); } void printCookieHeader(char (...)

Is there a better (any other?) way to force a page not to be cached but instead fetched from the server every time, other than using the META EXPIRES tag at the top of the page. That's the only way I found and am interested to learn if there are (...) (24 years ago, 9-Aug-00, to lugnet.publish, lugnet.off-topic.geek)
