There are no TCP/IP level or connection level policies implied as far as I know. The implied policy is to get the page again, and get a copy fresh from the origin server, without any intermediate cached copy being used instead. This implies that a new HTTP request has to be sent, but not necessarily that an existing persistent connection has to be broken. Hope this helps, Koen.
