HTTP Expire Header for /check/referer

Hello.

NOTE: As I am not subscribed to this list, please direct any
responses to my e-mail address: <mailto:z94lind@mtek.chalmers.se>.

I use the HTML Validator service to validate the pages on my personal
site. For convenience, I link to the validator using
<http://validator.w3.org/check/referer>. The problem with this is
that the validator results are cached within my browser (I use Opera
6.04 for Windows 98), meaning that I get outdated results, and
somtimes results for the wrong page. Have you considered adding a
HTTP Expire header? I searched the list archives for "expire" and
found this post:

However, I could not find any replies to the post, and the problem
still exists. Do you have any comments?

Regards,
Mikael
