wiki page not updating

Hi,

I tried to edit http://wiki.postgresql.org/wiki/Events to add PgDay
Ecuador 2012 but i can only see the modification when i'm logged in.
When i logout i see the previous version of the page.

The same happened when editing
https://wiki.postgresql.org/wiki/PGDay_Ecuador_2012 to add information
about the event.

any idea?

I would say what every user say here when the IT guys do the same that
did and it works:
"you did something when i wasn't looking" ;)

anyway, it seems the edits are there now not sure why i couldn't see
them before... sorry for the noise

FWIW, I've seen this type of behavior repeatedly. I think the wiki
webserver is allowing the browser to cache the old copy of the page.
If you don't have it in cache to start with, or after the cache copy has
expired, you won't see any inconsistency.

There was a thread about this awhile back which suggested that the
problem was http: vs https:, ie if you first visit a page non-secured,
and then log in, the server switches you to https: but the browser
doesn't realize that's the same as the http: page. I tried to address
that by changing all my wiki bookmarks to https:, but I think I've still
seen the behavior since then.

hmm not sure I fully believe in that theory but maybe we should just
make the wiki full https and be done with it...
