Flushing cache
Hi Folks Is there anyway to ensure that a user starts with a new or fresh template that is loaded from the website and not from their computer's cache. I have a form that I update on my website, but people will often complete it from a version that is in their cache.

Is there anyway to ensure that a user starts with a new or fresh template that is loaded from the website and not from their computer's cache. It is supposed to be handled automatically by CF with appropriate HTTP headers. ~| Order the Adobe Coldfusion Anthology now! http://www.amazon.com/Adobe-Coldfusion-Anthology/dp/1430272155/?tag=houseoffusion Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/message.cfm/messageid:353073 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/unsubscribe.cfm
Re: Flushing cache
The simple answer. Add the following HTML in between the HEAD and /HEAD tags of your page: meta http-equiv=Expires content=-1 the more complex answer is that not all browsers will take notice of this. You may need to add additional headers using the CFHEADER tag. cfheader name=Cache-Control value=no-cache cfheader name=Cache-Control value=private cfheader name=Cache-Control value=no-store cfheader name=Cache-Control value=must-revalidate cfheader name=Cache-Control value=max-stale=0) cfheader name=Cache-Control value=post-check=0 cfheader name=Cache-Control value=pre-check=0 cfheader name=Pragma value=no-cache cfheader name=Keep-Alive, timeout=3, max=993 cfheader name=Expires, Mon, 26 Jul 1997 05:00:00 GMT On Wed, Nov 7, 2012 at 4:51 PM, Rob Voyle robvo...@voyle.com wrote: Hi Folks Is there anyway to ensure that a user starts with a new or fresh template that is loaded from the website and not from their computer's cache.

Re: Flushing cache
Use a session variable/cookie and set the expiry and validate the same on form submission.
