XP SP2 breakes IE Cache

I've got a web application that uses DOM, XML, and javascripts.

In WinXP SP1, once the 2 meg XML files have been cached, IE goes to the
local cache for files and does not return to the web server.

However following a XP SP2 install, IE returns to the server each time a
link is clicked (slowing down the app). The same issue on Win2K SP4 and W2K3
SP1.

I have replicated this issue on 11 computers (laptops, desktops, Virtual
Machines, etc). Temp Internet Files is set to Auto or Never, however there
is no change. Adding the URL to Trusted Sites does nothing.

Thanks!

You probably need to consult the application writer or try and find a
solution in a development forum or group.

Every visit to the page
[[Specifies that when you return to a page you viewed previously, Internet
Explorer should check to see whether the page changed since you last viewed
it. If the page has changed, Internet Explorer displays the new page and
stores it in the Temporary Internet Files folder. Note that selecting this
option can slow down browsing between pages you have already viewed.]]

Every time you start Internet Explorer
[[Specifies that when you return to a page you viewed previously, Internet
Explorer should not check to see whether the page has changed since you last
viewed it. Internet Explorer will check for new content only when you return
to a page that was viewed in an earlier session of Internet Explorer or on a
previous day. Selecting this option can speed up browsing through pages you
have already viewed.
If you want to see the most current version of a specific page, even when
this option is selected, open the page, click the Refresh button on the
toolbar.]]

[[Specifies that when you return to a page you viewed previously, Internet

viewed it.
If you select this, Internet Explorer will check for new content only when
you return to a page that was viewed in an earlier session of Internet
Explorer or on an earlier day. Over time, if Internet Explorer determines
that images on the page are changing infrequently, it will check for newer
images even less frequently.

Selecting this option can provide the most speed when browsing through pages
you have already viewed.
If you want to see the most current version of a specific page, even when
this option is selected, return to the page, and then click the Refresh
button on the toolbar.]]

Never
[[Specifies that when you return to a page you viewed previously, Internet
Explorer should never check to see whether the page has changed since you
last viewed it. Selecting this option speeds up browsing between pages you
have already viewed.
If you want to see the most current version of a specific page, even when
this option is selected, open the page, click the Refresh button on the

Nope that didn't work. I had tried all 4 cache settings and no luck. It's a
specific SP2 thing that I can't figure out, even from here:
