I've tried using this code in my static html revlet launch page, but I'm
not convinced it is causing the revlet to be reloaded each time changes
are made:

<head>
<META Http-Equiv="Cache-Control" Content="no-cache">
<META Http-Equiv="Pragma" Content="no-cache">
<META Http-Equiv="Expires" Content="0">
</head>


Suggestions?

Thanks.

One common technique if you want to force a new version to be loaded is to use a "cache busting" URL to the Revlet in your HTML. Just add a query string to the end, and change it to reflect a new version.

myrevlet.rev ===> myrevlet.rev?v=1.0 ===> myrevlet.rev?v=2.0 ====> etc.

From then on, whenever you update the Revlet, just change the query string on the end. New URL = fresh copy.

Of course, keep in mind that if your Revlet is hosted on a static page, you've just pushed the caching issue up the ladder one rung. Thus it will need to be on a dynamic page which could be accomplished with OnRev hosting or really any other scripting solution (PHP, Perl, client-side Javascript, etc).

Another variation would be to append a fine-grained time stamp -- thus causing a reload every time. There are also a multitude of ways to do this using HTTP headers, but I find the URL tricks a lot easier to control.

Anyone know of a way to force Safari to reload a revlet other than emptying the cache? When I upload a new version of a revlet, Firefox dutifully loads the new version, but Safari insists on using a cached version.

Thanks,
