I just need to see how I can set it so I don't care what the page's cache policy is, I want to cache the page. It seems like certain pages are not getting cached and I want to know how to force loading the content into the cache. If I could get it to check every time a page is loaded to see if there is a difference from the cache version to the real version then update the cache. That is what I am looking for.
