Bug 19815 – [Gtk] Need a public method to reload view bypassing cache

• Status: RESOLVED
• Resolution: FIXED
• Component: WebKitGTK

[Xan Lopez]

Something like webkit_web_view_reload_bypass_cache (WebKitWebView *view);

Needed by Epiphany (and pretty much any web browser using webkit/gtk I guess). GNOME bug: http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=540781

Will this method be used very often or just instances where you want to bypass the cache? I'm just thinking if we can add a setting and make the public _reload methods respect that setting..

[Cosimo Cecchi]

This would be used upon user request I guess, think about F5 vs Ctrl+F5 in Epiphany or Firefox.

Once Gtk+ 3.0 comes around we should merge that with the plain reload method...
