location.reload() behavior change
Originally, location.reload() revalidates all cached resources. But from the m57, this behavior is changed to revalidate only the main resource, and to follow cache policy protocols for subresources.
Status in Chromium
Enabled by default (launch bug) in:
- Chrome for desktop release 57
- Chrome for Android release 57
- Android WebView release 59
- Opera release 46
- Opera for Android release 46

https://groups.google.com/a/chromium.org/forum/#!topic/loading-dev/gD-MPRcfwVA/discussion The feature is enabled via server side configuration on Chrome m57. Without server managed configuration, chromium-based applications need to wait for m59 that enables the feature by default in the source code. E.g., probably Opera Starts supporting this at 46, and WebView does at m59.
