I must have missed something in this thread. Seems to me there is a lot
assumed. Reloading, page caching, and putting orders into the basket
without visiting the basket page stikes me as a wild mix. I'd be curious
to see a short statement of the result you want.
Trying to make a POST that caches can be done. It's going to
be server dependant and browser dependant (or should I say
"independant")? It runs afoul of minivend link numbering too.
You **might** be able also to send a [op header] tag indicating
no data or no change (I forget exactly what it is).
