The gadget XML specs used to take around a couple of hours to become live on users' iGoogle page. This has been working great for years.
In the past week, I have been receiving loads of problem reports from users of my gadgets saying they are seeing on their iGoogle page a gadget that is a few days old to over a week old (my gadget spec is updated on an infrequent basis). I instructed them to do a Ctrl + F5 while on iGoogle and for most of them it solved the issue. A few users (on Google Chrome especially) are reporting that the Ctrl + F5 does not help though. My gadget has 100,000s of users and it is clearly working as expected for many of them, but there is a Google introduced problem impacting quite a few. As I can not reproduce the issue on my test systems, I can not give you more input, but my guess is that someone at Google has been experimenting with http caching headers in an attempt to save bandwidth but broke how gadgets have been working for years. Please look into this, and let me know if you need further informations. Cheers, Jerome -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "iGoogle Developer Forum" group.
