frustrated by ISP's cache
[1/2] from: gchiu::compkarori::co::nz at: 16-Nov-2002 18:08
I'm trying to upload patches to my website to test a patch
utility, but after I access the file once, my ISP caches
the file, and so even if I upload it modified shortly
afterwards, I only get my ISP's cached version.
This is so frustrating :(
I can add a random string after a ? tacked on to the
request, and this stops the caching but this is bit of a
hack.
What do others do?
I think for a clean solution, I'm going to have to write a
short rebol script to serve up the file I need ...

This is what I've done now. I uploaded my patch files
into a password protected directory. HTTP specifies that
directories protected by basic authentication must not be
cached, and it looks like my ISP's cache software is
respecting that.
When I'm done testing, I can just remove the
authentication .. or just leave it in place as I have
done.
