Javascript Caching Question on IIS6

[Larry Neylon]

Hi,

I am having problems with our IIS6 server serving out of date javascript
files in our ASP scripts.

It appears to be an intermittent problem, but causes all kinds of headaches
when working on javascript code.

Is there any way of setting a Javascript file to always expired ?

Any ideas of any setting in ASP / IIS to prevent this happening ?

Many Thanks,
Larry Neylon.

Server-side Javascript (Jscritp) or client side scripts?

Jeff,

Client side Javascript, i.e. <script language="javascript"
src="javascript/client.js" type="text/javascript"></script>

If I look in the file system I can see the latest version, but if I go to
http://server/javascript/client.js I see an old version until I restart the
server.

Thanks,
Larry.

Check and see if it's the client caching it. Clear the cache on the
client, then go to the page and see if it's updated.

I saw the same problem since Januar 2005.
First static files are served out of date.
At the moment all files including asp are
wrong.

Clearing the local cache, ... doesn't help.
Inserting headers and meta tags to suppress
caching of this files doesn't also work.

System is: IIS 6 on Windows Server 2003
(latest patches)

Browser is: IE 6 SP1 (all patches) and
Firefix 1.0.

This isn't a client side problem but a
server side one.

I'm keen to know the answer to this one as well. I can get around th
problem by doing something else for 5 minutes or so whenever I chang
the javascript, but I'd much prefer to just stop the caching for th
development site
