Hi Tim,

I noticed something strange about Navigator that may be the
source of your problem.  Navigator does not seem to check for
time stamp, but rather goes by the file size.  Maybe that's http,
I don't know.  Anyway, try adding a gratuitous space or linefeed
somewhere in your document, save it, then try reloading it in
your browser.  Kind of silly, but it worked for me.
