Proxy cache
-
Just thought I'd share my experience. Last night I had to stay 2 hours late with a vendor to fix a bug with their web app. It is hosted on their site. The outside world could see the page correctly, but our organization had problems seeing it. The page would alternately fail to load, then work ok on each refresh. They had done an upgrade to the files (1.1) earlier in the day, then rolled back to the old version (1.0). We finally determined the .js files coming over were switching back and forth between the old (1.1) and new (1.0) version on our end, whereas the world always saw the current (1.0) version. Even after a "touch" command to the files involved, the proxy still kept the files in cache like a pitbull. He created a new folder with a copy of the site, and we pointed to that, and it worked fine (no cache to get confused on). This morning it's no longer confused, so it appears to have released the 1.1 files.

Section 14.9 Cache-Control[^] describes how to prevent proxy/browser caching of web pages and/or files. Squid and most other caching servers honor this HTTP header although it can be configured to ignore it. Best Wishes, -David Delaune
