- New field in Chrome Simple cache?

Okay, it looks like Chrome 'simple' cache--on Mac at least--now has an extra field in the binary header. No idea what it is, but the fields we use are shifted over 4 bytes.

The attached version reads (and discards) the extra field. Plus a bunch of debug output.

The question is: is it just Mac, or all Chrome derived 'simple' cache using browsers? I know some Windows users end up with simple cache, but it's always 'block' cache on my computer.

So if some other people who use 'simple' can test it, that would help.

If you're running in debug mode, the output log will tell which cache version you're using. Search log for string Using. The options are "Using BlockfileCache", "Using FirefoxCache2", and "Using SimpleCache".
