Or specify "no-cache" directive in the http header.

I bet there aren't too many HTTP1.0 proxy servers left out there.

Just a heads up about a somewhat related issue.

Last time this thread came around we backed up our files, removed the user
ref args and went live. it worked great for us, but when our clients came
in (school districts) they started reporting wierd problems.


As it turns out, the user ref arg made the URL's more unique and they didnt
get cached. When the user ref args were gone, pages were getting cached and
that was causing problems.


We reverted to our backed up files and Scott said you could get around this
by putting a random number on the end of each URL.


We havent tried it yet but I'm sure it will work, just wanted to give you a
heads up on this for anyone whose going to be converting.

Hi Stefan,

Your examples are clear assuming that the Witango server doesn't care
that a userref has expired and just reuses it. To me, that is where the
problem
lies. If session cookies are disabled, the server should still be able
to
determine
that UserRefA was an old expired one and assign a brand new one. This
would
make all of the scenarios secure and usable without having to jump
through
programming hoops nor stop using @userreferenceargument.

To actually accomplish what you're proposing likely involves some form of
URL rewriting -
you're just introducing a different set of hoops to jump through. No
thanks.

Through all the hoops away, and just stop using <@USERREFERENCEARGUMENT>.
