I am not a webmaster, and that was exactly the reason why I installed XAMPP 1.7.2 on Windows XP SP2 instead of manually configuring Apache, MySQL and PHP to cooperate each other.
Now I am having to problem to disable caching pages from localhost.
Some suggested just force the browser not to cache, using Firefox web developer bar or something similar; but I feel it would be better if I could configure the Apache server in XAMPP to never allow pages from localhost to be cached.
I guess this is done somewhere in httpd.conf?
LoadModule cache_module modules/mod_cache.so
Would this module be helpful in this case?
Doc here : mod_cache
I am not very sure this would resolve the problem. Could anyone confirm this approach feasible? I'd like to work it out myself, given the fact that I am on the right track…
Many thanks in advance

Use mod_cache at http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.0/mod/mod_cache.html
CacheDisable /local_files
