Applying W2K SP1 seemed to fix up this problem. However, the original problem may not have occurred instantly, so perhaps it takes a bit more to bring it out. At any rate, I also upgraded to IE 5.5, so I hope that will be the end of the bad caching behavior. Thanks, Jens, for your response. At 11:09 PM 10/19/2000, Ross Boylan wrote:

I recently tried doing some Zope development on a laptop and ran into a problem: when I updated a product the updates did not "take." In particular, when I edited the text in a .dtml file and restarted Zope, I still saw the old text when I got to the appropriate point (the file was wrapped in an HTMLFile() and used for creating a new instance of one of the products in the package).

I think I checked all of the following: * the file was getting updated * all instances of explorer were shut down * MSIE options set to "Check for newer version of stored page on every visit to the page"

A notable peculiarity was that whenever I tried to access my local zope, I would get a "you are offline, do you wish to go online" message (I even used localhost as the machine name!). I would say yes, it would say it couldn't connect and ask if I wanted to try again. I said yes, but then I ran into the problems described above.

Zope 2.2.2 on MS W2K with MS IE 5.0.

Does this ring any bells with anyone? Is it an IE problem? a Zope problem? an interaction?
