Not browsing the most recent version of a webpage

Guest

I updated my website to the server. but when i browse with my company's computer, the page is not updated (not the most current version). but when i go home and browse with my own computer, the page is updated (the most current version). I've tried to clear the cached by deleting temporary internet files, history, cookies and etc. in addition, i did windows update and etc. All the company's computer are looking at the old version of the page. but home users are looking at the most current or updated web page. so, please advice.

Clearly there is an intermediate cache involved when you use your
company's computers. The only provision that IE has for trying to force
a server to show the client the latest versions of all files is Ctrl-F5
but if you have already cleared your TIF you are beyond any benefit
from that.

If you can't identify the source of the old page (e.g. via packet tracing
on both ends) there are a couple of workarounds which might succeed
depending on what your server will do with them.

First try adding a question mark to your request. The effect of that
would be to fool the intermediate cache into thinking that the request
was a new query. The hope would be that the server would ignore
the question mark.

Second see if your server can handle https protocol, either on the
default port of 443 or by overriding that default with an explicit :80
The reason that that would work is that the message flow would be
encrypted and thus not cacheable.


Good luck
