Howard Chu:
strict refresh was an experiment, which is also why it remains undocumented. What you describe is the desired effect but as you've found, it doesn't work as intended. It looks to me that one of the refresh scenarios isn't being caught but I haven't looked closely at this feature in quite a while.
Howard,
thanks for response. I understand this is not a wrong configuration but not fully implemented feature.
Patches welcome.
no Idea about details how the sync protocol works. But I've some other patched I'll publish for discussion.
