Re: keep squirrelmail out of web history

Hi!

Squirrelmail itself has no such option And I doubt there ever will be one. The only way would be to use post requests to a single address and I don't think that this has any kind of chance for implementation. Disabling the cache with html headers like you suggested will definitely not work. It will just tell the browser not to cache the site content and reload it with every visit; but it will not stop the address from getting into the history.

The easiest way of course would be to use a browser that puts the manually typed addresses to the top of the history list. Firefox for example does that and therefor eleminates the hole problem. Who cares about how long the list is, if the actual "entry"-page for your site is always on top? I think even the Microsoft Browsers do that, no really sure though.

But if you want to keep using Apple products there is a workaround to make even Apple user friendly. What you can do - I do the same thing for another site with all kinds of browsers - is to use a null frame:

Just create a website with address webmail.example.com and in there you put the following html body as directry index:
[...]
<body>
<frameset rows="100%">
<frame title="_top" src="" class="moz-txt-link-rfc2396E" href="http://squirrel.example.com">"http://squirrel.example.com" />
</frameset>
</body>

Then you create a second website with the address squirrel.example.com and put the squirrelmail installation there. Now the browser will only show one address when you start typing "webmail" as the actual squirrelmail data is coming from a different site with a completely different address.

And before the flaming war against frames starts, frames are perfectly valid if you use them with the correct doctype. There is "http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/frameset.dtd" for HTML and there even is "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-frameset.dtd" for XHTML.

Hello again,

I have a little annoying problem and I thought maybe you have already a plugin or something to solve it..

Each time when I start typing an address from our server in the address bar (here in Safari on iPad, should be same everywhere), I get a very long list of squirrelmail links (one for each menu/mail I have opened).

Is there an option in SM to prevent this behaviour, maybe by disabling caching or using post requests, whatever?

Kind regards,
John
