but no such luck. If I for example specify 'Check against server: Never' in IE, the pages are cached, no matter what.
Is it possible to ensure that pages are always fresh, even if it is specified on the client side that the client should never try to retrieve a 'fresher' page?
In my experience, IE cache control is badly broken. Using the random id in the URL is, as far as I've been able to figure out, the only way to *guarantee* a fresh grab. There have been several discussions of this problem on the mailing list in the past, and you can certainly experiment with all of the suggestions that have been floated...but I don't know of a definitive solution other than the random id. --RDM
