Ashok am waiting for your email so that I can test from my office & pick it up with the provider or we sort it within ourselves. I am sure we can get to the bottom of your case too ?
Great Evening.

If you use firefox, you can override the cache by pressing
Ctrl-F5 or Ctrl-Shift-R
You might be forced to do this a number of times.
Hope this works.

It makes sense on news sites, web mail sites, banking sites etc. where you dont want to expire content between visits as it may have changed or for security reasons (banking sites for instance...).
If you are serving up half a dozen pages with static content, which is what most sites do, you shouldnt be setting those flags.
the problem with the caching at accesskenya is their caching does not recognize when a page has changed intelligently, -- since the problem is not present with other isps.. _______________________________________________ Skunkworks mailing list Skunkworks@lists.my.co.ke http://lists.my.co.ke/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/skunkworks Other services @ http://my.co.ke Other lists ------------- Announce: http://lists.my.co.ke/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/skunkworks-announce Science: http://lists.my.co.ke/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/science kazi: http://lists.my.co.ke/cgi-bin/mailman/admin/kazi/general
