I am working on a ASP.NET 2.0 web site that has some PDFs that users can
download. I'm using an HTTP module to see if the user has permission to view
the PDF before loading it. This all works great. The problem is that once
the PDF has been allowed through to the browser, it won't be denied to the
next user. So, if one user is allowed to see it and then a user who is not
allowed to see it uses the same browser, it comes through for them. If I
clear the cache on the browser, it works again. I think that once the PDF
doc comes through, the browser is caching it. How can I prevent this caching
from my web code? Thanks.

you will have to change the expiration header for the browser and any
proxies. see w3c http 1.1 spec for header info. http://www.w3.org/Protocols/rfc2616/rfc2616-sec14.html

Is that true for PDFs?

In the Properties of the web site in IIS you will find "Content Expiration".
Set it to something like one minute. Setting it to "expire immediately" may
cause problems with the Adobe Reader when the user views it.

Hi all
Very new to JavaScript, I am trying to cache a number of images as the

browser stops caching.
My PC has 1G ram so if it's a physical memory constraint then I think I am
away from that. I am trying to cache about 600K images, (this if for an
intranet so the page load time is fast) but I need the speed of cached
images for the page to work correctly. I seem to...

On our (intranet) web site we have an ASP page that runs a report which

and it works fine. If she changes the parameters and runs the report again,
it displays the original result. She says it "used to" work OK.
