cache externel javascript

[Christian Ternek]

Hello !

I have the problem that in some cases the external
javascript files are not cached.

I have the website on an internal server.

If I open the site from the ie with the ipaddress(
http://192.168.200.100/zeiterfassung) the javascript-files
will not be cached but if I use the dns name (http://xy/zeiterfassung) the
files are cached.

I have no idea why in the one case it will cached and in the other case not!

Please help!

Thanks
Christian

Since I'm not sure what browser you are using and I'm not sure how you are
determining that the files in question are not being cached, I can only guess at
a reason.

Assuming that 192.168.200.100 and xy point at the exact same HTTP server
instance with the exact same Cache-Control header configuration, the only thing
I can suggest is that the browser is aware that the first page is loading from a
site on your local subnet and is not caching because it figures uncached
retrieval is fast enough.

You may also want to telnet into the server:

telnet 192.168.200.100 80

and do a HEAD for the resource to see if there are any Cache-Control directives
being sent.

HEAD /path/to/the/resource HTTP/1.0<enter><enter>
