webview's reloadIgnoringCache doesn't appear to be ignoring cache

[johnthedebs]

I have a site in a webview which I'm reloading with the reloadIgnoringCache method, and after the reload I see a bunch of 304 responses in the webview's devtools. I've tried calling the method on both the webview itself and the host window with the same results.

I could be misunderstanding what the method is supposed to do, but my expectation was that it wouldn't attempt to use the cached response for any requests, like when the Disable cache check box is checked in the dev tools window.

I'm using Electron version 0.34.3 on OS X 10.11.1.

Currently reloadIgnoringCache is mapped to loadUrl since we need to force restarting renderer process, I'm merging this to #1360.

have you found solution, its not working for me using reloadIgnoringCache and also not even after adding extraheader info set to nocache,store using loadURL. How did you guys manage to do it. When I update script/js.js file included in my index.html file and I reload index.html in webview, and its not updating script/js.js ... any idea?
