3.1.9 Reload, rerender, and refresh URLs

Reload a page with ‘g’ (‘wwe-reload’). If you are using ‘url-automatic-caching’ you can force a page reload by pressing ‘G’ (‘wwe-reload-no-cache’).

Rerender the HTML of the current page by pressing ‘r’ (‘wwe-rerender’). If you have ‘wwe-change-html-functions’ hooks, they’ll be run again. Type a prefix argument like ‘C-u r’ to rerender without changing the source.

Reload and rerender try to keep the point in the same place. Note that if the page has changed the point might shift.

Reload pages automatically by typing ‘M-x wwe-auto-reload’ and entering the amount of seconds before each reload. Press ‘RET’ without typing a number to use the default reload time, 300 seconds. You can change the default by setting ‘wwe-auto-reload-default-time’. Stop automatic reloading by calling ‘M-x wwe-auto-reload-cancel’. Set ‘wwe-auto-reload-mode-line-format’ to change the text displayed in the mode-line when auto-reload is enabled, by default " reload:%d".

Some pages have a refresh URL in a <meta> tag. If it’s the same URL as the current URL the page wants a reload in a certain number of seconds. WwE shows a message saying so but doesn’t reload the page. When the URL is a different URL it’s requesting a redirect. By default these pages are refreshed automatically. If ‘wwe-auto-refresh’ is set to 'ask a prompt asks if you want to visit the new URL. Press ‘y’ to visit the URL or press ‘n’ to stay on the current web page. If it’s set to nil or you typed ‘n’ you can press ‘e’ (‘wwe-refresh’) at a later time to retrieve the URL in the same buffer.

If for some reason the coding-system in the page is wrong, you can rerender the page in the correct coding-system with ‘_ c’ (‘wwe-change-coding-system-rerender’).
