[geeklog-devel] Help regarding Feature Request #1606, identifying a page refresh

[Rishabh Raj]

IMHO, the view counter does not refer to the number of unique people who
have seen an article but instead help in measuring the popularity of the
article.

Setting a cookie would not allow me to gauge that.

My point being this feature of checking out the popularity of an article
can be misused by just going on refreshing the page, we may need to figure
out something ingenious for countering that.
HTTP_CACHE_CONTROL and HTTP_PRAGMA may help us out, i am not a 100% sure
though.
