[flexcoders] Re: IE Refresh Issues

2006-02-01 Thread Eric Raymond 
Be careful.  You've just applied a band-aid that now masks the
underlying issue ... which will likely bite you when other users run
your app.  

The issue is likely a bug in IE and Flashplayer.

You need to make sure that the Pragma no-cache header is *not* set by
your server.  

IE interprets this header strangley in certain situations.  This
header (versus other cache related headers) is largely irrelevant with
the browsers people use today (and it's pragmattic usage then was an
consequence of misinterpreting he http protocol).

[flexcoders] Re: IE Refresh Issues

2006-02-01 Thread douglowder 
Is this for an older version of IE?  I recall running into something 
very similar when using... IE 5.5 I think it was, with a jsp 
webapp.  The browser chose to ignore headers concerning caching in 
favor of the browser's settings.  There was a service pack that 
fixed this for that version, and I believe it was fixed for good in 
IE 6.
