Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/sigoden/dufs/issues/632

Problem
There is a txt file on the dufs server, sometimes the content will be updated when new version overwrite the old one.
looks click view file icon to show the content of a file will show old cache instead of latest info.
if click the file directly will get latet content of the file.

For the view file icon, suggest to force fetch the latest content instead of show old cache.

I've been getting this issue for a while now as well; not even Ctrl + Shift + R fetches the updated version. This was observed with PDF files (both with clicking the link directly and downloading the file), Firefox (including on version 143.0.1), dufs 0.43.0.

EDIT: this may be a bug with symlinked files: viewing the original file seems to work fine, but the symlinked file seems to lag a bit behind on being updated. Also, the last modified timestamp for the symlinked file shown on the web portal is updated but its contents aren't. I'm not precisely sure what it takes for the symlink to update yet; it seems somewhat random and maybe time-based.
