Another example
The first posting contains 2 inline images which were embedded with this link type:
dl.dropboxusercontent.com /scl/fi/<identifier>/filename.png?rlkey=XXX
And on each revisting of the page it is NOT shown in Safari
Only when I issue a hard-reload it is shown.
Though I experience this again and again I can not artificially reproduce it.
- New browser tab
- Open forum URL
- Open DevTools → Network
- Filter for "dropbox", shows two PNGs, both HTTP 200, so no redirects, no caching issues
- Hard reload
- Network inspection still open: PNGs are shown as HTTP 200 but with the note "served from memory", this is normal, Safari considers its TTL, and does not re-evaluate before that, if the policy does not ask to re-evaluate on each request.
- Closing all browser windows.
- Open new browser window
- While that browser windows is still blank: Open DevTools → Network — So that I can observe it while in that state
- Reload
- Again, both PNGs HTTP 200.
It seems to have to do with Safari's TTL assumption regarding the cached files, which seems to be not in the minutes or so, but happens definitely if you revisit some more minutes hours later. Very very odd all this.
