I have no deeper understanding of the inner works of JServ, but IE4 and IE5 has
a slightly different approach to accessing a page, and if you take a look at
the headers of the two browsers you kan see the difference.
I presume that part of the problem refers to out-of-date checks and stuff like
that.
I don't know what I am doing, but
res.setHeader("Pragma","no-cache");
res.setHeader("Cache-Control","no-cache" );
res.setHeader("Cache-Control","no-store" );
seems to help to a certain degree (not always though).
