Hi folks,
I'm new in the http-wg list, but I'm listening
for a long time to some of the www-*-lists.
I just listened to a part of the discussions
of reload/refresh and no-cache.
I'm wondering if someone of you could draft
a HTML/HTTP-glossar. This glossar
should contain not only a technical clear
explanation of an expression, but should also
contain a recommended user-interface-dialog
when the user has to deal with the expression.
I'm not able to do it, is someone of you ?

Here's my opinion to reload, refresh and no-cache:
-reload
Reload means reload and nothing else. In other words:
LOAD IT AGAIN !!!
-refresh
I'm not sure, but if I say Refresh I expect
- do a screen refresh
and/or
- do whatever is necessary to give me something fresh
of what I just had
-no-cache
If I say no-cache, I mean Don't cache, and if the current
http-spec says the chain-ends of a http-request have to ignore
any Pragma-directive, they shuold do it. But everything between
the chain must follow the directive so these shouldn't cache.
