Sorry, Henny, but I think Anthony is right here.

I clicked on Reload and my netscape send this to squid:

GET http://squid.nlanr.net/Squid/ HTTP/1.0
If-Modified-Since: Tuesday, 20-May-97 14:52:47 GMT; length=2880
Proxy-Connection: Keep-Alive
User-Agent: Mozilla/3.01 (X11; I; HP-UX B.10.10 9000/735)
Pragma: no-cache
Host: squid.nlanr.net
Accept: image/gif, image/x-xbitmap, image/jpeg, image/pjpeg, */*

While holding SHIFT and clicking it send this:

GET http://squid.nlanr.net/Squid/ HTTP/1.0
Proxy-Connection: Keep-Alive
User-Agent: Mozilla/3.01 (X11; I; HP-UX B.10.10 9000/735)
Pragma: no-cache
Host: squid.nlanr.net
Accept: image/gif, image/x-xbitmap, image/jpeg, image/pjpeg, */*

Both times there where Pragma: no-cache.
I've checked the Mozilla/4.0b5 SM-Win95, too, and it's just the same
there, except that it also reloads the images.
