The CSS Validator send the following two HTTP headers to avoid HTTP
cache:

Pragma: no-cache
Cache-Control: no-cache

It does not either keep an internal cache but does the request for each
new validation request. Make sure to force the refresh of the result
page in your navigator (shift+reload should do it).
