We have a wms server providing map tiles to overlay on a Google base
map. These tiles reflect current congestion data, and that data is
updated about every 2 minutes.

About every 2 minutes, we have a periodic Ajax function that requests
updated incident/roadwork/har data from the server. That response
sends us a js fragment with the new icon array, a call to update the
icons, and a call to our tile refresh function. I see it hit our
refresh function, which calls the google-provided refresh on the tile
overlay. And . . . according to both Firebug and my packet sniffer,
nothing happens.  These tiles have the cache-control header provided
by geoserver, (Cache-Control    max-age=0, must-revalidate). They do not
have the older pragma no-cache header because I have been unable to
work out a way to make it happen.

If I add a random number to the tile request, we do get refreshed
tiles. But, the memory leak caused by big image files heading into the
cache (of both IE7 and FF2) every 2 minutes kills the browser in about
an hour on your standard desktop. One of our requirements is that this
page needs to remain open & updating indefinitely.

Am I using the tileoverlay refresh command incorrectly? Is there
anyway to make IE and FF update these tiles without making the browser
think that it's a different filename each time around?

Thanks,
Deirdre
