Problem with safari's cache in ios 5

Since I installed iOS 5, Safari does something it's not supped to do... When I navigate to a page that I've visited recently, Safari loads the page from its cache, rather than checking for and displaying more recently-posted content.


For example, if I visit the home page of the New York Times, it shows me yesterday's news. I can only view today's news by tapping the Reload icon. If I then tap an article's headline and go to another page to read the article, when I tap the Back button to return to the home page, it again displays yesterday's news, and I have to tap Reload to re-display today's stories.


Anyone having the same problem, or know of a solution? Thanks.

I am having a worse problem since upgrading my Ipod touch 4 to IOS 5. When I try to start Safari by pressing its button, I see a blank browser window for about 1 second, and then go right back into the home screen. I tried pressing Settings,

Safari,

Clear History

Clear Cookies and Data,

but that didn't help. Does anyone have any other suggestions?

I am having the same issue (iPad 1). I first thought it was Safari was using the web pages that were there when I upgraded to iOS5. Having deleted the cache and cookies multiple times, still no resolution. If I close safari, open, navigate to site, choose article, then hit back, the page I see was as it was several days ago.


Interesting issue this one. If only clearing the cache actually cleared the cache :)
