Hi all
I have a problem with the function GM_xmlhttprequest that I will
explain...
The script runs the function GM_xmlhttprequest to a file from an
external server.
When the server returns the file, the script compares the remote file
and the current script then it update or not the script
But the problem is that, the browser does not connect to the server
and "download" the file, grabs the file from the cache (grabs an
outdate file)
This is a very serious problem if the function is used for this task
GM_xmlhttprequest
There are some options or methods to solve this problem?
thank you very much and sorry for my very poor english
Sometimes you can add a bogus random parameter to the file name:
myfile.txt?x=31415926. Never tried it with a text file, but I know
people have successfully used it to ensure it pulls the image from the
server, instead of the cache.
Or, what I did in a similar situation, was to add a .htaccess file to
the file's directory on the server, with instructions that any retrieved
files are to considered expired within a few seconds of retrieval. The
instruction set will vary depending on server software and other factors.
