Hah. Something about the proxy server we have at work makes this unnecessary. If HN takes too long to respond, I end up logged in as a HN-reading coworker :)

Maybe there needs to be a "cache-control: no-cache" header, or something.




I recently heard from him. He gets your pages too. But I don't think you're actually logged in as one another, in the sense of being able to do anything (e.g. vote) as one another.

If you know of anything I can change to prevent HN pages being catched by your proxy, please let me know.


Serve pages with the "Cache-Control: private" HTTP header.


Thanks. I just added that header in what I believe are the right cases. Please let me know if you still see the problem, jrockway (allowing time for caches to clear).


Will do. Thanks for taking a look.


Yeah, the votes always seem to happen as me. I don't know what proxy software we use, so I don't know what it's doing wrong.

The same thing happens to me at work. There are a lot of HN readers at my company!
