At the top of the page:

pStr = "private, no-cache, must-revalidate"

Response.ExpiresAbsolute = #2000-01-01#

Response.AddHeader "pragma", "no-cache"

Response.AddHeader "cache-control", pStr

Don't allow your page to be cached. Why? You might want to prevent users from seeing old content. Insert the following code in the <HEAD> tag of your document.

Cache No More (ASP)

by Phil Paxton

Here are the things dealing with the issue of caching in ASP:

1. Response.Expires = 0

2. Response.ExpiresAbsolute = Now() - 1

3. Response.AddHeader "cache-control", "private"

4. Response.AddHeader "pragma", "no-cache"

5. Adding a "cachebuster" by creating a unique URL.

Notes:

#1 is said to expire at 60 seconds, not 0. Also, Khin Zaw (from ActiveServerPages@ and ASPAdvanced@) has posted research from time spent with some IIS internals experts revealing this can be a very touchy parameter to rely upon and usually requires a rather "large" negative number or pedantically, that would be a very small number).

#2 (my own creation) says "expire this page 24 hours ago", allowing for time differences, rather than specify a static date.

#3, #4 from an MS KB article. The code is correct but there are some incorrect statements in the article itself.

n.b. some related KB articles include:

#5 my term, but not my technique. IE 5.0 can defeat #1-#4 used in conjunction but adding #5 will break it. I usually use something like "?NoCache=Rnd" after a statement. Bill Wilkinson (of Chili!Soft) has proposed an alternate of ?NoCache=Server.URLEncode(Now())".

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Another thing to remember: Netscape will continue to cache, even if you turn all caching off. This behavior persisted through 4.5 PR1, PR2, and now in the released version of 4.5.

If you fear you might have to deal with caching later, you might want to build contingencies into your app as you go. Retrofitting #5 throughout even a medium-sized app would take a rather sizeable effort. You could retrofit #1-#4 (inclusive) rather quickly with a single pass through the application, but #5 takes a lot of extra effort. And to that end, I don't ever Response.Redirect anywhere in my code except sample code I post to the lists (then again, the only time I use Response.Write is to the list because I rely on my Utilities-Form.inc library for Display() and HTML()). Everything is Redirect(NewURL) where the Redirect function looks like this:

Function Redirect( NewURL )

If Not IsEmpty( NewURL & "" ) Then

Dim QuestionMark

QuestionMark = Instr( NewURL, "?" )

If QuestionMark = 0 Then

Response.Redirect NewURL & "?" & NoCacheURL()

Response.End

Else

Response.Redirect NEWURL & "&" & NoCacheURL()

Response.End

End If

End Function

and NoCacheURL looks like this:

Function NoCacheURL()

On Error Resume Next

Randomize

' Randomize not needed if you use Now()

NoCacheURL = "NoCache=" & Server.URLEncode(rnd)

' or NoCacheURL = "NoCache=" & Server.URLEncode(Now())

' per Bill

End Function
