ASP.Net Caching

[=?Utf-8?B?RGF2ZQ==?=]

I'm using ASP.Net with an UpdatePanel. When the screen is exercised via a
Web Test, the Web Test shows that the AJAX scripts are downloaded for every
partial post back.

My impression was that IE would cache these scripts so that the AJAX script
download would only occur once.

What am I missing?

I'm using ASP.Net with an UpdatePanel. When the screen is exercised via a

partial post back.

My impression was that IE would cache these scripts so that the AJAX

script

download would only occur once.

What am I missing?

Use fiddler to see what is present in the request/response exchanges between
IE and web server.

Are the scripts coming from a folder or a webresource ?

Do the JS resources come with Last-Modified and ETag headers and do they
have an Expires header set in the future? What is specified in the
Cache-Control header coming from the server?

What is IE sending in its request for these resouces, is a If-Modified-Since
header and/or a If-None-Match match header present?

Is IE caching other resouces as expected? Is the temporary internet files
setting on automatic?

There was a bug in IE cache handling (I haven't tested it recently) when the
ETag of a resource changed but the Last-Modified hasn't (on IIS this can
happen when some values in the metabase are changed), IIS responds with a
full 200 response but IE doesn't cache the item with the new ETag because
the Last-Modified date is the same as the existing cached resource.

Hi Dave,

From your description, the "Caching" you mentioned here is the cache of the
AJAX client script rather than ASP.NET server-side output cache, correct?

As for client-side scripts or other static resource's caching, it mostly
depend on the client-browser's interpretion of the resources(whether it
detect any change in the url or the httpheader's last modified value
changed). Also, there is specific configuration in client browser to
customize it. For example, you can change the behavior in IE via the
following setting:

**Tools-->internet options---"General Tab"

**In the "Browsing history" section, click " Settings" button

You'll find the "check for newer versions for the stored page" item

Also, for the behavior you saw, I suspect that whether it is also related
to the webtest tools which may generate some additional header or url
querystring which make the server-side emit different script url for the
AJAX script. This may also make the client browser think the file need
update. Anyway, you can use "Web Development Helper" tool to watch the
behavior when you manually do postback operations on the AJAX page. Based
on my test, for normal AJAX postback, the script resoures are not download
everytime.

Sincerely,

Steven Cheng

Hi

Omar has a great post on script loading... check it out...

it might help you...

Best of luck

Thanks for your reply Dave,

As for the setting in browser, I think the default "Automatically" would be
ok.

Also, enjoy your vacation, and welcome to post here when you come back on

What am I missing?

[=?Utf-8?B?RGF2ZQ==?=]

As you implied, when fiddler was used, it showed that the Microsoft
JavaScript files WERE cached.

Unfortunately, my JavaScripts, Images, and CSS files are not cached and I
would like them to. The remainder of this Email will address my files as
opposed to the AJAX files.

Regarding your questions:

a. Are the scripts coming from a folder or a webresource? My files are
obtained from a web folder.

b. Do the JS resources come with Last-Modified and ETag headers and do they
have an Expires header set in the future? What is specified in the
Cache-Control header coming from the server?

The Response Header from the JavaScript that ISN'T cached is:

HTTP/1.1 200 OK
Server: ASP.NET Development Server/9.0.0.0
Date: Tue, 05 Aug 2008 17:04:30 GMT
X-AspNet-Version: 2.0.50727

c. What is IE sending in its request for these resouces, is a
If-Modified-Since

The Request header for the JavaScript that isn't cached is:

d. Is IE caching other resouces as expected? Is the temporary internet files

Yes, the AJAX files are being cached. The temporary internet files is set
to automatic.

Again, thanks for your help with this!

First thing I would do is test this with IIS not the development server.

Developement server is fine for quick testing of .NET code etc but its not
something you would use to test the general Request/Response behaviour the

I think you'll find things work fine under IIS.

"Automatically" is working well. Also found that running IIS from a

a
Web Test, the Web Test shows that the AJAX scripts are downloaded for
every
partial post back.

My impression was that IE would cache these scripts so that the AJAX
script
download would only occur once.

What am I missing?

"Automatically" is working well. Also found that running IIS from a
different machine (independently of the Webtest) solved the problem.

Thanks

Thank you for the excellent response.

Yes, my question pertains to the caching of the AJAX scripts on the

client.

Regarding the "check for newer versions for the stored page" setting,
