We have a client with thousands of users (who all use Internet Explorer) and a large amount of javascript files that enhance their user experience with our product.

The problem I’m having is that any time we update one of these scripts there is no way to know whether the client is seeing the latest version. What we’re having to do is tell our client to do a hard refresh (ctrl+f5) before viewing any changes. Obviously this approach is not ideal.

I know that browsers cache based on the url, so one could use something like 

<script src='myScript.js?ver=1.2'>

to get around the issue, but this is not an option for us.

I was hoping that there’s some kind of header property or something similar that we could use to tell IE not to cache these scripts.

Any ideas?
