force cache to expire in Netscape or Mozilla

[sam]

Hi,

the following works fine with IE:

<%
Response.CacheControl = "no-cache"
Response.AddHeader("Pragma", "no-cache")
Response.ExpiresAbsolute = DateTime.Now.Date
Response.Expires = -1
%>

How do you make that working with netscape or mozilla firefox ???

thanks

That's ASP legacy code. In ASP.NET, this all folds to

<%@ OutputloCation="None" %>

or

Response.Cache.SetCacheability(HttpCacheability.NoCache);

Unfortunately, navigational controls like back or forward are not necessarily
tied to the browser's cache. That's probably your problem here.

thanks for correcting my syntax by the way.

As I said, there's no standard approach to influencing navigation controls
from the server side. You may even find certain older Mozilla versions where
this works, but in the end, it's neither reliable nor intended by the HTTP
spec.
