document caching

There is something in WWW and/or Viola that I don't understand.
It seems to me that Viola (or WWW) is keeping a cache of
all documents so as to avoid needing to retrieve the same
thing again. But this is a problem when I am either
1) actively editing the documents
2) the documents are dynamic - e.g. computed by a server.
In the latter case I dont want to see the cached version, I
want to see the most recent version.

Or at least I want a way to flush Viola's cache.
