cache

I see around a lot that people want to stop caching things.
I thought a cache just stored images and stuff so you didn't have to re-download them.
can someone explain to me what it is?
like this in the source of webforumz:

Code: Select all

<!-- no cache headers -->
	<meta http-equiv="Pragma" content="no-cache" />
	<meta http-equiv="Expires" content="-1" />
	<meta http-equiv="Cache-Control" content="no-cache" />
<!-- end no cache headers -->

Well,
I have learned this "cache" things back in few years ago right here in WebForumz with if I am not mistaken it is mr. spinal. I dont know where he is right now...

I found this nice link about cache and it explain to you what is the purpose of the code!

Check the first paragraph!

So You Don't Want To Cache Huh?
