IE 6.0.
I am accessing an internal ELOG instance through an Apache reverse proxy on port
80, per the FAQ. Just tested without the proxy and there is no data loss problem
with back/forward.
When I access the ELOG forum, I am going through a forward proxy to the Internet,
which probably explains the data loss on error messages.
Will investigate proxy configuration regarding "Expires: " headers and post here
if I find a solution.
