Just use request.getHeader("X-OperaMini-Features") and you will see if the handset supports it.

Hi, we are trying to get opera mini to reload our page from the server when the user presses the back button. According to the article operamini.maxAge=0 should do the trick but unfortunately it has no effect (on mini version 6.0.24532). Our page is accessed via https and we also set http headers to tell the browser not to cache (Cache-Control:no-cache, no-store, must-revalidate and Expires:-1).

Has anybody successfully used operamini.maxAge? Does anyone know a workaround to get mini to reload a page from the server when the user presses back?

Hi there - I've got some answers for you.

For a start, there is a bug in the article - it should be operamini.page.maxAge instead of
operamini.maxAge. I'll fix this in a moment.

Secondly, there isn't a workaround to get mini to reload a page from the server when the user presses back. Navigating history does not trigger a server round-trip unless the page was cleared from memory on the device.

Not exactly the answer I was hoping for, but thank you for looking into the issue.

Hello,

I've checked the article and it says that OperaMini supports CSS border for values solid, dashed and dotted. However, I only get to work the solid value. Whenever I write dotted or dashed, OperaMini displays solid. I've tried:

{border: 1px dotted #4D4D4D;}

but also:

{border-style: dotted; border-color: ..... }

Happens both on iPhone and Nokia95. And since that's pretty basic stuff, I wonder: does OM really support other values than solid, or am I possibly doing something wrong?

Thank you very much. This is driving me nuts.
