I looked through the bugs in Bugzilla but it's hard to know if this has been reported or not, and I don't feel like registering an account there.

Anyway, let's say I load up an image in a new tab in Camino. Then, with the image still there, whoever controls the server on which the image is hosted decides to delete the image. If I'm using Safari, it will just download the image that is already loaded, but in Camino, it insists on making another request to the server for the image. It refuses to just download whatever is already there. So if the image is deleted, I can't download it anymore if I'm in Camino, but it works fine in Safari and every single other browser I've used.

Is there a workaround for this? I go to imageboards like 4chan fairly often where the life of a particular image file is half an hour at most. Normally I can load up a bunch of pictures in tabs, downloading all of them periodically, but with Camino I have to download every one as soon as I can otherwise I lose it (the only way to get it back is to take a screenshot).

Another (probably completely unrelated) issue is that Camino doesn't seem to have any form of autocomplete, not even for bookmarks. Am I missing something?

Do we really want to call that a bug? Camino is technically doing the right thing, since the image is gone from the web site. The other browsers are displaying it from cache. Have you tried playing with Camino's cache settings?

(I assume Camino has cache settings, but can't verify as I am stuck in a hotel room with only a Windows laptop)

I'd say it's a convention based on how all the other browsers (Mac and Windows) work. If I wanted it to download the most recent version, I'd reload the page first. I don't like Camino deciding that the cached version isn't good enough for me. Furthermore, it takes longer because you have to re-download the same thing. Doesn't matter with 50 or 100 kb images, but if you're looking at something that's 1.5 MB or so, it can be a major annoyance. Even small images take longer to re-download than they do to just download from cache.

I wasn't able to find any relevant settings last time I looked, but like you, I'm stuck without immediate access to my Mac right now.
