Avoiding the dread Telkom proxy caching
Can't remember where I picked up this tidbit, but it's very helpful when debugging remote web content (where you keep reloading the page and expect the content to be updated). I'm in South Africa, where Telkom likes to cache content and put as little traffic on the international link as possible.
To avoid the cache, simply put a '?' at the end of your URL, signaling the page takes parameters and has dynamic content. Every invocation goes all the way to your server and no content is cached!
