Hello: I got a problem keeping Internet Explorer from returning values from the cache instead of getting the new values of external files being downloaded. Sometimes a "refresh" will get IE to get the new values, and somtimes I have to delete all temporary files. Does anybody know how IE to fix this? Is there a parameter in IE to say DONOT cache this site? Is there something I can do to the External Files to enfluence IE? Jerry Westrick

Try: Tools > Internet Options... > Temporary Internet Files "Settings..." button > Check for newer versions of stored pages: "Every visit to the page" radio button. This is how I have IE set. IE version: 5.00.3314.2101CO. -- sbb \:)> /:(>
I use these two on one of our homepages. One is for Netscape/Mozilla and the othe is for IE. I forget which line is for which browser but I suspect the Pragma is Mozilla. This is between the head /head tags on the webpage. I've seen where you set the browser not to cache and it will still cache. <meta HTTP-EQUIV="Expires" CONTENT="0"> <meta http-equiv="Pragma" content="no-cache"> Thomas 7/7/2003 5:22:13 AM, Jerry Westrick <Jerry@Westrick.Com> wrote:

From my experience with IE this is not possible. I have set every no cache header I could find and I still find situations where IE grabs an old version of the page. Telling it to check every time seems to do nothing either. I have used ethereal(network analyzer) and checked IE5-IE6 and I see the same behavior in all of them. Sometimes it just draws an old version of a page without ever connecting to the server. I just doesn't check if the info has changed and so the headers do nothing it seems. Overall IE has a very broken HTTP implementation and a little reading through the ms knowledge base on it reveals a LOT of issues.It seems to operate on the assumption that the data on pages rarely changes and so makes shortcuts in what it does based on that. I have even had it return an error message from zope up to 2 hours old and clicking in refresh over and over again or shift-refresh did nothing and ethereal showed that the server was not being contacted
