[Radiant] Deactivate page cache for development?

[Andreas Semt]

Hi Ruben,

same behavior with Webrick:
My startup command (location: '<Radiant-root>'):
'sudo ruby script/server webrick -e production'.
The only files still in '<Radiant-root>/public'
(after 'Clear page cache') are 'index.yml' and
'.htaccess'.
Wanna try for yourself (i have no Apache-FCGI setup) ;-\ ?

*A happy and healthy new year to all list members!*


Best regards,
Andreas Semt
