http cache does not get purged (2.4.2.1)
Last modified: 2007-11-03 10:44:38 UTC
Please describe the problem: I noticed recently that my http cache (~/.evolution/cache/http) had grown to almost 100MB). It appears that even though I regularly expunge folders and empty trash, the cache does not get purged. Steps to reproduce: 1. view html mail 2. delete mail, empty trash 3. review ~/.evolution/cache/http Actual results: image files persist in cache Expected results: cached files should be purged Does this happen every time? yes Other information: Removing all folders under cache/http has no ill effects, so can be used to purge the cache manually. If purging is complex, perhaps offer a menu option so that users can purge caches (this would include file attachments which may not be purged). Purging can simply remove all sub-folders of cache/http.
Yeah, known... Confirming. I am pretty positive this is filed already, though I can't find it.
LOL. And, I'm terrible at searching bugs! You're probably right, but I could not find it either. If it's a dup, my bad. Maybe it got lost during the switch from Ximian to gnome?
