  • 0

I’ve got a caching problem with the Internet Explorer 6.0 and I want to instruct the browser not to cache the page he’s requesting.

Further information: In my page, there’s a random token that prevents reloading the site and posting the same information twice or more.

If you now bookmark this page, the browser has to be instructed to refresh the site, everytime he requests it.

Firefox 3.0.5 does this correctly, but IE 6.0 keeps the random token in cache.

I included following meta tags in the affected page:

<meta http-equiv='cache-control' content='no-cache, must-revalidate'> <meta http-equiv='expires' content='0'> <meta http-equiv='pragma' content='no-cache'>

Any ideas? Thanks in advance!

  1. This is a fairly well documented googleable problem, and probably duped several times here, but fwiw this is my standard block (C#):

    Response.AppendHeader('Cache-Control', 'no-cache'); //HTTP 1.1 Response.AppendHeader('Cache-Control', 'private'); // HTTP 1.1 Response.AppendHeader('Cache-Control', 'no-store'); // HTTP 1.1 Response.AppendHeader('Cache-Control', 'must-revalidate'); // HTTP 1.1 Response.AppendHeader('Cache-Control', 'max-stale=0'); // HTTP 1.1  Response.AppendHeader('Cache-Control', 'post-check=0'); // HTTP 1.1  Response.AppendHeader('Cache-Control', 'pre-check=0'); // HTTP 1.1  Response.AppendHeader('Pragma', 'no-cache'); // HTTP 1.0  Response.AppendHeader('Expires', 'Wed, 09 Jun 1993 00:00:00 GMT'); // HTTP 1.0
