[thelist] CSS cached on Win2K

[Ken Schaefer]

Hi Michelle,

A) If you use a tool like WFetch [1], does the old CSS contents still come
back from the server?

B) Are there any proxy servers between the client machine and server?

C) If the answer to "b" is "yes", what are the expiry and caching headers set
on the CSS file?

D) Is there any chance that the CSS filename as a ~ in it? Or is it being
stored on a NAS or some other device that's remote to the Win2k server
itself?

E) What webserver software are they running (presumably IIS, but it could be
Apache or similar)? Do they have Windows 2000 Service Pack 4 installed on the
box?

Thanks

Cheers
Ken

: Hi ..
: 
: I have a client that runs their web site on their own inhouse Win2K
: server.
: We've always had a problem with the CSS being cached for about 24 hours.
: I
: know from the past, that eventually the new CSS file shows up, the next
: day.
: 
: I just sent them an updated CSS file, and they need to make the new files
: I
: did live today.  However, the new CSS isn't showing up yet, so my new
: forms
: look like crap. ;)  It affects all browsers, even when I've never been to
: that site with one, so it should be grabbing the new file right away, but
: it
: doesn't.
: 
: Can anyone tell me how they can stop the CSS from being cached on the
: server, so that the new version takes over right away?  (Detailed
: instructions would be most useful, as I'm not a server administrator.)
: 
: TIA,
: Michele
