But there is no need for an expires header if you don't want caching. It is enough to "Cache-control: no-cache" (or "no-store", though the latter wreaks havoc on IE and downloads) or, if you are _still_ using HTTP/1.0, "Pragma: no-cache". The "Expires" is not needed at all. -- Francis Galiegue ONE2TEAM Ingénieur système Mob : +33 (0) 683 877 875 Tel : +33 (0) 178 945 552 f...@one2team.com 40 avenue Raymond Poincaré 75116 Paris --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: users-unsubscr...@tomcat.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: users-h...@tomcat.apache.org
