           Summary: Consider implementing history.navigationMode for
                    PageCache control
           Product: WebKit
           Version: 528+ (Nightly build)
          Platform: All
        OS/Version: All
            Status: NEW
          Severity: Normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: Page Loading
        AssignedTo: webkit-unassigned at lists.webkit.org
        ReportedBy: beidson at apple.com


We might consider implementing history.navigationMode for PageCache control.

See http://www.opera.com/support/kb/view/827/ for more details.

This would give web developers an explicit, semantically precise method for
disabling the PageCache and re-enabling it later.

We'd still risk web developers turning it off at page load and leaving it off,
based on misunderstanding of what the PageCache is or how it interacts with
their page, but at least we could feasibly ween them off of unload handlers for
this purpose.

See http://webkit.org/blog/516/webkit-page-cache-ii-the-unload-event/ and
https://bugs.webkit.org/show_bug.cgi?id=29021 for more discussion, as well.
