Update to the info below, when I hit "view source" I don't see the http headers in IE. However, they are being generated - so they're either being stripped out by my servee (unlikely) or IE doesn't show them (hmmm). Either way, IE is still caching pages I set to expire yesterday...
-----Original Message----- From: Stephen.Hurley [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: 22 February 2002 17:14 To: '[EMAIL PROTECTED]' Subject: Problem with caching/expiry Hi all, I'm trying to stop browsers from caching a page that I'm using CGI.pm to output. According to what I've read about CGI.pm, the way I do this is with: print header(-expires=>'-1d'); .....which sends a header that says the page expired yesterday (and needs to be reloaded). However, the page still gets cached - and when I hit "View Source" I can't see any evidence that the header has been changed for the file I'm outputting. Which means that the -expires part of the line above is being completely ignored. Since CGI.pm is well tested, I'd consider this fairly unlikely... Any ideas ? Steve. /.
