Scenario: There is a website with 700-900 concurrent unique visitors at any given time. There are pages on this site that auto-refresh, updating the displayed information. These pages are implemented so that sessions never timeout, to allow users to leave these pages always open.
Problem: After deploying updates to the website, users are still seeing the old markup if they had the page open from before the update.
Question: Is there a way to force refresh? I was thinking may be detect version/revision number on each callback and redirect to some message page if different. But I hope there’s an easier way.
Thanks
I think you answered your own question. I don’t think there’s a good way to do this beyond detecting version or timestamp since last application restart.
