No; Opera definitely ignores no-cache and expires header times.  I
have an application that clearly demonstrates it, since I know these
headers are being sent on certain pages.  Heck, even Netscape 4.7x
gets this right!

With RT, it just means I have to hit reload quite often to get the
refreshed dynamic pages, especially when I hit the "Home" button.
