If I wanted to reload it, I can still do so by explicitly telling the browser to do so. Notice that this has nothing to do with the HTTP headers that tell the browser not to cache a page. Those take effect when you enter the URL in the Location bar or follow a link to it. Following a link and then using "back" should be equivalent to having opened the link in a new window or tab, and then closing it. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce:
