Hi all:
I'm trying to use Header() functions to prevent browsers from caching a
username/password protected page (linked to a database), so that users can't
simply click the Back button to return to that page. The Headers work OK in
that the page isn't cached (the browser says it has 'expired'); so far so
good. But the browser offers the user the opportunity to reload the page by
reposting the form data that created it - which it does; so the whole
routine is useless. I've tried adding Header functions to all the
pages/scripts involved, to no avail. (I'm testing all this using whatever
version of Netscape that ships with Red Hat 6.2). Can't find anything really
relevant in the last couple of months on this list.
Any ways around this?
