I have a long question : Can we get rid of useless meta tags ?
I wanted to know what are the goal of these meta tag "http-equiv" and "pragma" because, even if I know what are the goal of this header, I don't find the reason of no using php header. :-)

I did a test and these tags are simply not working with my browser for example. I did a test :

with meta tags :
using php header :

Perhaps there is something I don't understand, but I checked on w3c website about this meta tags and I found that they doesn't recommend to use it (cf. W3C validator).

Hello! Initially when I included those headers I was concerned about caching since the code was kinda bad. I wanted to be able to push up quick fixes without the responses being cached by browsers. I am open to suggestions with how to address caching by browsers.
