Hi Jamileh,

Here's a tip that is usually helpful:

In most versions of MSIE, using the "Refresh" button from the toolbar
triggers MSIE to reload the latest 'cached' content from the "Temporary
Internet Files" folder on the user's computer. Typically MSIE will determine
cache rules on it's own and usually errors on the side of caution and cache
things longer than usual.

But....if you right-click on your page and choose "Refresh" from the popup
context menu, it will usually override this and get the latest content (that
has not expired yet) from your LAN proxy cache (if you have one). I find
this a bit more helpful, because most proxies will expire content when they
are supposed to.

Learning everything you can about expiring your TAF output via the
Local$httpHeader is very important with dynamic applications.


As for your CSV thing, try putting the <@assign name="httpHeader" .....> tag
on the very first line of the last Results Window in your TAF - and on the
same line put <@PURGERESULTS> and your CSV output variable afterwards. This
will eliminate any garbage spaces and such.

Oh, and turn debugging off in the file.

Hope this helps. Cheers.....

Phil  -  would having him hit Refresh in his browser do the same thing?
(That would be easier over the phone than changing IE settings).

On the csv problem, in the WriteFile.taf, I'm doing this:

<@assign name="httpHeader" scope="local" value="Content-Type: <@var
local$filetype><@crlf>Content-Disposition: attachment;
filename=<@dq><@var
local$IncomingRFName><@dq><@crlf><@userreferencecookie><@crlf>">


Thank you!!
