Firebug shows headers for the c3.php page are: Response Headers: Date Sun, 16 Dec 2007 20:48:43 GMT Server Apache/2.2.6 (Fedora) X-Powered-By PHP/5.1.6 Expires Thu, 19 Nov 1981 08:52:00 GMT Cache-Control no-store, no-cache, must-revalidate, post-check=0, pre-check=0 Pragma no-cache Content-Length 51 Connection close Content-Type text/html; charset=UTF-8 Request Headers: Host localhost User-Agent Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.8.1.6) Gecko/20070812 Remi/2.0.0.6-1.fc6.remi Firefox/2.0.0.6 Accept text/xml,application/xml,application/xhtml+xml,text/html;q=0.9,text/plain;q=0.8,image/png,*/*;q=0.5 Accept-Language en-us,en;q=0.5 Accept-Encoding gzip,deflate Accept-Charset ISO-8859-1,utf-8;q=0.7,*;q=0.7 Keep-Alive 300 Connection keep-alive Referer http://localhost/hf/c1.php Cookie PHPSESSID=spave8i7jc7m0cmmvcdaj3msh7 > > > > (P.S.
