Hi all,

How do you workaround the fact that, e.g., firefox doesn't invalidate
a cached resource representation in the browser upon POSTing to the
uri of the resource?

My scenario is this:
A Google Map GETs a resource (a list of geo. points) which is cached
for an hour on the client to avoid the overhead of additional HTTP
requests. On another page a single point can be edited.
Now POSTing an updated point to the list resource doesn't invalidate
the cached representation as it should (a common problem:
http://www.mnot.net/javascript/xmlhttprequest/cache.html). Since the
cache is not invalidated the update is hidden on the map until time
invalidates the cached representation.

Any workarounds?

kind regards
Jakob
