Title: Question about HTTP Get (Maybe off-topic)

Hello all,

I wrote a servlet to pick a file and send it to display at user's web browser (using HTTP get method). Which file to send depend on cookie receive from user request. This is useful in case I want to response users with file that doesn't allow user to access directly and users only access on one URL and get different files depend on their cookie content. My problem is ... when servlet try to send file which modified date is older than the one that already in browser (URL is servlet URL, not files URL,then both files have identical URL) , browser discard ... and display the file it already has. What should I do ??

Regards,
Siros
