.NET Forum / ASP.NET / Caching / June 2004Clear Browser Cache
Hi, Is there a way to clear the browser cache programmatically, i'm my page, i have written nothing to cache anything. i want the page to load a fresh everytime. kindly give in your comments. Pradeep try putting this code on page you'd like browser not to cache: Response.CacheControl = "no-cache" Response.ExpiresAbsolute = Now() - 1 Response.Buffer = True Response.Expires = 0 whenever user visits the page which has above code, page contents are not cached into his browser.

This indicates that the response object should buffer all of its output to the client and only release it to the client when the processing has completed. response.expires is the lenght of time in minutes before cached response on the browser expires. response.expiresabsolute sets the date/time when a response page stored in browsers cache will expire. response.cachecontrol = 'no-cache' tells proxy server to not cache this response into its cache... it adds Pragma: no-cache in http response header. see http://www.w3.org/Protocols/rfc2616/rfc2616-sec14.html section 14.32 Pragma response.buffer = true .. this is because if its set to false, web server may start responding chunk by chunk, and proxy server will have to cache those chunks because its not receiving all data at once. response.expires and response.expiresabsolute are for browser, however you can use client side HTML tags to control it too. see http://www.i18nguy.com/markup/metatags.html SignatureHope this helps, Zeeshan Mustafa, MCSD > > Response.CacheControl = "no-cache" > > Response.ExpiresAbsolute = Now() - 1 [quoted text clipped - 9 lines] > indicates that the response object should buffer all of its output to the > client and only release it to the client when the processing has completed. > response.buffer = true .. this is because if its set to false, web server > may start responding chunk by chunk, and proxy server will have to cache > those chunks because its not receiving all data at once. If the proxy receives portions of the response (buffer = false) will it not just relay those fragments to the client? Scott it will relay as soon as it starts receiving data, but if the response.buffer is true then it will receive the whole response at once and forward it to client. Yes, I know. So what does the buffer setting have to do with proxy caching then? > Scott it will relay as soon as it starts receiving data, but if the > response.buffer is true then it will receive the whole response > at once and forward it to client.
