Should boost handle client page reload requests (eg Ctrl or Cmnd Shift R in Firefox)?

I think that including this in the anonymous users section of the .htacess rules should do it

RewriteCond %{HTTP:Pragma} no-cache [OR]
RewriteCond %{HTTP:Cache-Control} no-cache [OR]

In fact, I believe that RFC2616 requires it - see section 14.9.4 under "end-to-end reload"

fairly strong statement

The server MUST NOT use a cached copy when responding to such a request.

seems like your code should do the trick - http://httpd.apache.org/docs/trunk/mod/mod_rewrite.html#rewritecond

Attached is a patch that does this

Add in a setting so one can not be standard compliant if desired (example: site in offline mode).
