Hi, I am working on a set of gadgets which use some shared data which is fetched using gadgets.io.makeRequest. I am using pubsub to pass messages between gadgets to tell them that they need to fetch new data. My problem is that Shindig is caching the data and so when it is refetched the old data is fetched again instead of the new data. I can work around this by avoiding caching (mostly) by setting the REFRESH_INTERVAL makeRequest parameter to a small number like 1 (or other more severe cache busting tricks) but I would actually like the data to be cached. Is there a technique that would allow me to force the Shindig cache to update when I know it is necessary?
By the way, what is supposed to be the effect of setting REFRESH_INTERVAL to 0? My experience seems to show that it actually allows the data to be cached for a significant time rather than disallowing it completely. Is this expected? Bruce Godden Oxford e-Research Centre
