[AOLSERVER] Recall: [AOLSERVER] no-cache, expires, etc.

[Brian Fenton]

Brian Fenton would like to recall the message, "[AOLSERVER] no-cache,
expires, etc.".

Re: [AOLSERVER] no-cache, expires, etc.

[Jim Wilcoxson]

FYI, the ns_set below is not valid syntax...
The correct syntax is ns_set put [ns_conn outputheaders] Pragma no-cache

Hi!
I believe, setting Expires and Pragma headers should work.
You should probably change Your code to the following
ns_set put [ns_conn outputheaders] {Pragma: no-cache}

I add some junk in generated URL,  like
  ?dummy=
This relies on the fact that most browsers
will not cache urls with queries within.
Of course, I might be wrong, but I could
survive with this scenario for many years.

This will (of course) fill the browser's cache
pretty fast, so if you care about that, don't do it.

[AOLSERVER] no-cache, expires, etc.

[Ian Harding]

I am trying to fix it so a page is always fetched fresh from the server, even when the 
user hits the back button (or I use it with .history(-1))

I have tried ns_setexpires, which does not seem to work by itself.  The client still 
seems to use cache.

I tried adding ns_set put [ns_conn headers] Pragma: no-cache, with no effect.

How do you do this?

Thanks!!
