RE: [flexcoders] Flex swf caching

[Matt Chotin]

For one thing I would make sure that your web server is sending the right cache headers on your previous version.  But your suggestion of adding a random string (like the build version) on the end is also better as a guaranteed mechanism.  You’ll notice that a lot of popular webapps do that to ensure no caching despite the fact that they probably set their cache headers as well.  IE is untrustworthy in this regard J   Matt   From: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com [mailto:flexcoders@yahoogroups.com] On Behalf Of Jonas Windey Sent: Wednesday, September 20, 2006 10:51 AM To: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com Subject: [flexcoders] Flex swf caching   Hi,   What is the best way to ensure that, when uploading a new version of our project to the server, the client gets a new version of the swf file the next time he refreshes his browser? To ensure that you have the latest version, we have to say that they should clear their browser’s cache and refresh, but we’re looking for a cleaner way to solve this. I was thinking in terms of a build version in flex, that gets appended to the swf, so main.swf?build=3129 , to ensure the client has the newest version.   Thanks   Jonas Windey Web Developer T. +32 3 216 86 47   Pixco Interactive Division T. +32 3 216 86 40 F. +32 3 216 86 49   http://www.pixco.com   __._,_.___ -- Flexcoders Mailing List FAQ: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/flexcoders/files/flexcodersFAQ.txt Search Archives: http://www.mail-archive.com/flexcoders%40yahoogroups.com SPONSORED LINKS Software development tool Software development Software development services Home design software Software development company Your email settings: Individual Email|Traditional Change settings via the Web (Yahoo!
