Information kept in client browser cache

Hi all,
Does anyone know what kind of information is stored in client browser cache when users are logged into Planning or Workspace?
We have a concern from customer Information Security department concerning to confidential information (data) that could be left behind on browser cache when users log out from applications.
We need to provide a confirmation to customer that all confidential information that could be found on client browser cache is deleted after the users end their work sessions.
Thanks in advance,
Marilia

The question is what counts as confidential information.
You can use the Firefox browser to login and go to Planning and then in another tab do about:cache
Using this the below web pages are in the cache. I browse through these cached pages and one of them has application name and database names which some people may consider confidential depending on the context.
Suggest you provide them a view only login and ask them to use Firefox and let them determine if that information is confidential.
The cached information from my session follows:

To use browser cache

After a contents is gatewayed through the portal, 'Cache-Control' value is setted as 'no-store, no-cache' even though it is setted to use cache from the remote server.
We need to use browser caching function, but with the 'Cache-Control' value resetted in the portal while it is gatewayed, we cannot use browser caching function.
Is there anyway to keep 'Cache-Control' value to use browser caching when a content is gatewayed through the portal server?
Thanks,Young-Jin

The bug is related to client browser caching, but is rooted in the gateway. As you've noted, the gateway is erroneously adding no cache headers to the response for certain content types, thereby preventing the browser from caching them.

Is that right you are talking about browser caching?Actually, we want to use client browser caching.The bug that you said is related to client browser caching or gateway caching?

URL iviews are not cached in client browser!!!

Hi All,
We have URL ivews of ASP.NET pages in our Portal Home page.
Those ASP.NET pages are located in MS Windows Server (IIS).
It takes long time to load the Portal Home page.
We set the Allow Client-Side Caching - Yes, Cache Level - Shared, Cache
Validtiy Period: 7.59.59 for all URL iviews.
For the Home page which contains all URL iviews Isolation Method
property is set to Embedded.
We set "Enable Content Expiration" - 8 Hours for the "Root - virtual
directory" in IIS.
When I browse those pages with the URL directly in IE (outside Portal).
It runs faster and returns with HTTP status code "cached".
All the pages including HTML are cached in client browser.
When I logged into portal all images, css and javascript files are
cached in the client browser but not the HTML content. It returns with
HTTP status code 200 whick means URL iviews are not cached in client browser.
Thanks
Thruna Shanmuga

Hi Thruna,
The only header which influences caching behaviour in your request is the 'Cache-Control: private' header, which afaik means that the page cannot be cached by a shared cache (such as a web proxy), but can be cached in a personal proxy such as the browser cache.
However the headers do not specify a specific expiration date which means that the browser cannot know how long the response can be cached and thus has to check validity every browser session. The most optimistic scenario would be that the browser checks if the cached entry is still valid by requesting the resource and adding a If-Modified-Since or If-None-Match header. The server could then respond with a 304 Not Modified, skipping sending the actual resource in the response body.
If you want the resource to be fully cached you have to give it an expiration date in the future. This has to be done in the IIS server, maybe through ASP tags in the page.
I do not know why the page is loading from cache in the non-portal scenario but I can only suggest that you make absolutely sure the cache item was not validated already in the session.
With kind regards,
Thijs Janssen

When I publish my site on one specific page where i've added {tag_pagecontent} I get the error:Some files on the server may be missing or incorrect. Clear browser cache and try again. If the problem persists please contact website author.

When I publish my site on one specific page where I've added {tag_pagecontent} I get the error:
'Some files on the server may be missing or incorrect. Clear browser cache and try again. If the problem persists please contact website author.'
I'm trying to get a blog module going, I've even deleted the html insert bog with the tag in and re-published which then I don't get the error but as a result no blog either. But then I add the tag in again and publish the error comes back. I've used the dev console and it says that my musicians sample.css is out of date but why is it only out of date when I add in html to my muse site?
HELP!!!! I've searched other threads and to no avail I'm publishing so no direct ftp going on. the only thing I changed in business catalyst was the module stylesheet in order to style the blog. I've tried uploading and replacing all files nothing seems to work. the site is here:
http://www.musicstudentsforhire.co.uk/musicians-samples.html
It's only this page as it has the blog on. Also I've noticed when I've re-published occasionally it will show the mobile version on my desktop and not the desktop version??? no idea why that's happening so I've had to turn that off. any explanation on why that is happening would also be much appreciated.

I haven't received an answer as of yet, I'll post t on here when I do. I de-activated the mobile site because it's my clients site so he needs it to be operational during the day. I hope someone gives me an answer soon.

Session state and browser cache - Back button problem

Hi all,
I have a problem (and unless I'm missing something I think we all do) with session state and use of the browser's Back button. I really hope I'm just being dumb...
Background scenario:
Page P has a sidebar list allowing the user to select what content is displayed (e.g. 'stuff relating to X, Y or Z' where X, Y and Z are rows in, say, a table of projects). When a list entry is clicked, we branch to page P with the value of the list item placed in an application-level item (call it G_PROJECT). Reports on page P use G_PROJECT in their WHERE clauses.
So, click list entry X and G_PROJECT is set to X and page P shows reports for project X.
Page P also has a set of buttons which branch to various edit pages which allow attributes of page P's current project to be updated. These pages similarly use G_PROJECT in their WHERE clauses.
Problem scenario:
1. The user goes to page P and picks project X off the list. Project X's stuff is displayed (G_PROJECT = X).
2. The user then picks project Y off the list. Project Y's stuff is displayed (G_PROJECT = Y).
3. The user then clicks the browser's Back button. The page is served from browser cache, so project X's stuff is displayed, but G_PROJECT still = Y.
4. The user clicks an 'Edit' button; we submit, and branch to an edit page which displays (and will edit) data for project Y because G_PROJECT still = Y.
This is SERIOUSLY BAD NEWS - apart from being confusing, the user's edit permissions on projects X and Y may differ, and so the user may be able to perform 'illegal' updates.
I've read what I can on this forum and the rest of the web looking for ways to a) inhibit browsers' 'Back' functions and/or b) prevent pages being cached by the browser, but none of them have worked for me.
Short of waiting for browser manufacturers to recognise that the web is now full of applications as well as static pages, and enable robust programmatic control of cache behaviour, does anybody know how the problem can be avoided - or at least detected?
Thanks,
jd

Thanks Scott,
I may be being dumb here but I don't see how that would help...
P250_PROJECT and G_PROJECT are currently kept in sync by app logic. Whichever is used to drive, if the page is rendered from cache then the app logic is not executed, so the rendered page contents are not those keyed by P250_PROJECT, as illustrated in steps 1-4 of the problem above.
The user sees X, the session items say Y. The engine doesn't know what the user is seeing.
when page P is POSTed, its hidden item P250_PROJECT should always be used to derive the application item G_PROJECT. Then whether the page was pulled from cache or rendered anew via a click from the sidebar link, the project ID is determined by the contents of that page.
As I said above I tried this, with the 'Edit' branch set to:
Set these items: G_PROJECT
With these values: &P250_PROJECT.
but it makes no difference. The project ID is not determined by the rendered page contents - the engine gets the value of P250_PROJECT from session state.
I can code the 'Edit' pages such that they check permissions and if necessary redirect back to p250 (conditional before-header branch), but that's a clunky cure rather than the prevention I was hoping for.
Please tell me if my understanding is incorrect.

Can't get browser.cache.disk.parent_directory to work

I've tried to use the browser.cache.disk.parent_directory method to move my disk cache, but this isn't working.
Details:
I did a clean install of Firefox 22 on Vista, and then, following instructions, went into about:config, created the browser.cache.disk.parent_directory key, and gave it the value of a directory I had created.
I then visited many different sites (no, not in private browsing mode), and noticed nothing was being saved there. In fact, the new directory is absolutely empty (no hidden folders either).
Looking at about:cache, I am informed:
Offline cache device
Number of entries: 0
Maximum storage size: 512000 KiB
Storage in use: 0 KiB
Cache Directory: C:\Users\XXX\AppData\Local\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\XXX.default\OfflineCache
And yes, browser.cache.disk.enable is set to true.
This is true regardless of whether I am using my admin account with no extensions or my standard user account with several extensions.
Advice?

the-edmeister, I carefully read the material in your link before making the changes, and then again before posting this question, and yet again now. I hate to be snide, but can you point out what there is in this link that addresses my question? (And yes, browser.cache.disk.capacity is obviously set to a positive value.)
If it helps, I'm attaching a screencap from about:config.

Some files on the server may be missing or incorrect. Clear browser cache and try again. If the problem persists please contact website author.

I've been building a site in Muse successfully until today when I get this error message in the browser, publishing to business catalyst as a test bed:
Some files on the server may be missing or incorrect. Clear browser cache and try again. If the problem persists please contact website author.
Clearing the cache has no effect and I have checked the assets and there are no error symbols. This happened after trying a google translate code in the <head> and a HTML snippet on the master template, I've since removed it but that the last action I took that I can think may have had an effect.
Viewing the source of the page in Safari hash;t helped other than it shows ALOT of html (including some elements i can;t relate to in my site design) and states there are three errors:
[Warning] Invalid CSS property declaration at: ; (index.html, line 1)
the site is Kingsdown Holiday Homes - Self Catering Chalet Rental at Kingsdown Park, Kent | Home
I started this site in Muse CC and then recently upgraded to Muse CC 2014, and I had install issues so deleted the original program (this then forced the download of the new version which was not automatically downloading even though CC notified me that an update was required.
Any information gratefully received.
Thanks,
Andrew

Same problem here but it has nothing to do with a cellular connection.
Created the site http://www.blackdot.com in Muse 7.4.3 with no issues. Just updated the .muse file today to Muse CC 2014 and reloaded to our web server. Now I am getting the error "Some files on the server may be missing or incorrect." when viewing the site from the latest version of all browsers (Safari, Firefox, Chrome) on a Mac and all browsers on a PC (Safari, Firefox, Chrome, Explorer), also mobile Safari on an iPad.
My connection is wired broadband, not a mobile or wireless connection. I am not using the Muse "Upload to FTP host…" option and will not be using it. I am simply exporting as HTML and copying the files to my server. I have deleted all files from the web server and recopied the updated site with the same error result. This is the exact same procedure I used to load the initial site with the prior version of Muse.
It does not seem like there is an existing solution to this problem although many others are experiencing it. It looks like I will need to manually edit each page to remove the error message coding from the html files. Any tips on how to strip out the alert message from the html?
UPDATE
For anyone else experiencing this issue, I was able to edit the .html files for my site to remove the code responsible for this alert message. If you wish to edit your .html files you must make the same edit to every .html file in your site export including the top level "index.html" and all .html files inside the "tablet" and "phone" folders if you have them.
The coding to remove is at the bottom of each .html file:
(Muse.assets.outOfDate.length||Muse.assets.required.length)&&alert("Some files on the server may be missing or incorrect. Clear browser cache and try again. If the problem persists please contact website author.")
Make sure you do not remove any semicolons or braces {} when making this edit. Just remove the text shown above. You will obviously need to remake these edits if you export your site as HTML in the future.

Does the Browser cach the jnlp-file?

I have a problem, I think with the browser's caching. As I modify the *.jnlp-File, the old version is loaded, not the new one!
Or is the old version cached by the webStart-Caching-Mechanism?
To update the jnlp-file, sometimes it is helpful to clear the Clients webStart cache.
Is that correct?
regards,
ulli

The browser does in fact cache the jnlp and it can be a real problem. If there is no expiration on the JNLP then the browser may load it from cache instead of going to your web server on the next access. This means you may have modified your JNLP on the server for a new release, but users can start your application WITHOUT GETTING THE LATEST JNLP!
You can solve this problem by serving the JNLP file from your own servlet (or other HTTP serving technique) and setting the expire header. Setting it to 0 does the right thing.
Do NOT however, set "Pragma", "no-cache". no-cache stops the browser from writing the JNLP to the file system...this in turn causes a problem when Web Start tries to find the jnlp file after the browser starts Web Start....the jnlp file is not there.
Note that the JnlpDowloadServlet provided by Sun in the Web Start developers kit does NOT expire the JNLP file...you must fix this code yourself if you want it to work correcly. Sun was supposed to make this source code available but I can't find it anywhere. We used a de-compiler to de-compile the code, fix it and re-jar it.

Using the Client Result Cache

Hello everyone,
I have a question regarding the use of the client result cache but first of all here are the informations about my database:
SQL> SELECT * FROM v$version;
BANNER
Oracle Database 11g Enterprise Edition Release 11.2.0.1.0 - 64bit Production
PL/SQL Release 11.2.0.1.0 - Production
CORE    11.2.0.1.0    Production
TNS for Linux: Version 11.2.0.1.0 - Production
NLSRTL Version 11.2.0.1.0 - Production
I have installed the Oracle Client Tools on my clientmachine. It has a tnsnames.ora like this:
ORCL =
(DESCRIPTION =
    (ADDRESS_LIST =
      (ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = FEA11-119SRV)(PORT = 1521))
    (CONNECT_DATA =
      (SERVICE_NAME = orcl.local)
The Client Result Cache is configured in the sqlnet.ora.
ADR_BASE = /u01/app/oracle
OCI_RESULT_CACHE_MAX_SIZE= 2048000
OCI_RESULT_CACHE_MAX_RSET_SIZE = 1024000
NAMES.DIRECTORY_PATH = (EZCONNECT, TNSNAMES, HOSTNAME)
The Databaseserver is configured like that:
SQL> col name format a30
SQL> col value format a30
SQL> SELECT name, value
2 FROM   v$system_parameter
3 WHERE name LIKE '%result_cache%';
NAME                   VALUE
result_cache_mode           MANUAL
result_cache_max_size           0
result_cache_max_result        5
result_cache_remote_expiration 0
client_result_cache_size       1073741824
client_result_cache_lag        3000
After configuring client an server I try the followign SQL-Statement on the clientmachine:
sqlplus oracle/password@orcl
set autotrace traceonly explain
SELECT /*+ result_cache */ *
FROM testtable;
SQL
The execution plan show two operations: "SELECT STATEMENT" and "TABLE ACCESS FULL" but no the "RESULT CACHE" operation.
Did I miss something?
Any help would be appreciated
Florian W.

result_cache_max_size           0
That means the result cache is disabled. You need to set it to a non-zero value. That is the maximum ammount of memory, in bytes, the database will allocate on the shared pool to dedicate it to the result cache for all requests.
By the way, OCI_RESULT_CACHE_MAX_SIZE is optional. By default the sessions will have the maximum size they can occupy on the cache determined by CLIENT_RESULT_CACHE parameter, the client (OCI) side parameters override that.
result_cache_mode           MANUAL
Another thing to consider is RESULT_CACHE_MODE in MANUAL, that will cause only the statements with the RESULT_CACHE hint on it to be cached on the result cache. You can also set result cache to mode FORCE on specific tables with alter table command.

Using the client result cache without the query result cache

I have constructed a client in C# using ODP.NET to connect to an Oracle database and want to perform client result caching for some of my queries.
This is done using a result_cache hint in the query.
select /*+ result_cache */ * from table
As far as I can tell query result caching on the server is done using the same hint, so I was wondering if there was any way to differentiate between the two? I want the query results to be cached on the client, but not on the server.
The only way I have found to do this is to disable all caching on the server, but I don't want to do this as I want to use the server cache for PL/SQL function results.
Thanks.

You haven't provided ANY information about how you configured the result cache. Different parameters are used for configuring the client versus the server result cache so you need to post what, if anything, you configured.
Post the code you executed when you set the 'client_result_cache_lag' and 'client_result_cache_size' parameters so we can see what values you used. Also post the results of querying those parameters after you set them that show that they really are set.
You also need to post your app code that shows that you are using the OCI statements are used when you want to use client side result cacheing.
See the OCI dev guide
http://docs.oracle.com/cd/B28359_01/appdev.111/b28395/oci10new.htm#sthref1491
Statement Caching in OCI
Statement caching refers to the feature that provides and manages a cache of statements for each session. In the server, it means that cursors are ready to be used without the need to parse the statement again. Statement caching can be used with connection pooling and with session pooling, and will improve performance and scalability. It can be used without session pooling as well. The OCI calls that implement statement caching are:
OCIStmtPrepare2()
OCIStmtRelease()

Client Result Cache Question

Hi,
i am not sure, whether the new feature "Client Result Cache" for OCI - Connections is an enterprise only feature or not.
The Licensing Information at http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E11882_01/license.112/e10594/editions.htm#CJACGHEB shows this three features are enterprise only:
Client Side Query Cache
Query Results Cache
PL/SQL Function Result Cache
Which of these are pointing to Client Result Cache? Is it the Query Results Cache? Or something else?
As an Hint, i am unable to activate the feature on standard edition databases, but i am not sure, if this is the reason or if i am just making some mistakes in configuration/testing.
Thanks in advance
Joerg

we stopped all tests, because it seems to be a enterprise edition only feature.

Clear the Browser cache while Outputting PDFs

Hi,
I am using Servlet to output a PDF (Streams), i am facing Browser cache problem in IE
since i am setting Content type to PDF as follows...
response.setContentType("application/pdf")
i could not able to use follwoing Clear the Browser Cache
response.setHeader("pragma", "no-cache");
response.setHeader("Cache-Control", "no-cache");
response.setHeader("Cache-Control", "no-store");
response.setDateHeader("Expires", 0);
the above code is not working fine in Netscape but not in IE.
Can any one help me out in this.
Regards
SAM

Hi,
I have a problem with pdf file also, everything working fine in IE and
netscape, but when I tried the streaming of pDF document from my
servlet in response to a request from Opera browser it failed.
the url may give some idea,
http://localhost:8080/pdf/pdfdownload?PDF_FILE=abc.pdf
here pdfdownload is my servlet, and code I used to stream like following
public service(HttpServletRequest req,HttpServletResponse)
ServletContext sc=getServletContext();
String mimeType=sc.getMimeType((String)
req.getParameter("PDF_FILE"));
res.setContentType(mimeType);
File pdf=new File((String)req.getParameter("PDF_FILE"));
res.setContentLength((int)pdf.length());
InputStream in=new FileInputStream(pdf);
OutputStream os=res.getoutputStream();
byte[] buf=new byte[1024];
int count=0;
while(in.available>0)
count=in.read(buf);
os.write(buf,0,count);
the detailed code kept out for simplicity, but the idea is pretty
much is this.
Now, opera opening the stream for a file name pdfdownload and
storing locally and then opening my acrobat reader, the second
time if called it trying to create another file by name
pdfdownload (1)? xxxx where ? is an unknown character, this is
where it's failing, unable to create the file so failing to open
the pdf file. what best process would be to follow in servlet so
the streaming works in all browser, I have seen many link in sun
sites, opening up pdf but it seems they all are stream, and my
opera can identify their size and file name distinctly and saving
them accordingly, any solution ???
thanks

How to clean the IE browser cache from the jsp?

I have my own web application running on my IE browser, Also we have created this application shortcut URL link on my desktop.(i.e just we have created some short cut for the URL http://localhost:8080/app ). If we accidently closes the browser with out log out option , then if we opens the new browser with the shortcut browser link, it maintains the session and it holds all the data which we ran before.
The main issue is,In Internet Explorer (IE 5.x) If we closes the browser while running the appliaction using Alt-F4 or using X(close) option.After that if we open that application's shorcut link it opens with same session, could you please give me some suitable solution for to remove the cache from the Internet Explorer?
I have used :
<meta http-equiv="Pragma" content="no-cache">
<meta http-equiv="Expires" content="0">
and all the possible meta option , It does't work for me to clear the client side cache.
thanks
vijay

It's not clear what goal you're trying to reach. Do you need session at all? Is it browser's caching that bothers you?
If I remember correctly IE keeps session even after all its windows closed. Mozilla does just the opposite.

Oracle Lite web browser cache problem

Hi,
I have developed a web application based on jsp and servlet.
The application works correctly if the User works "On-Line".
When the user works "off-line" the application seems to work correctly, but pages (jsp) are not refreshed and the user gets old page versions (from browser cache).
The problem does not occur in "on-line" mode.
Thankx,
Massimiliano Gugnali

ya i installed oracle in client system. I think we have to add the user name in oracle server system at this path ( start -> settings -> control pannel -> Administrate tools -> Local Security Policy -> ..)
Am i right?
Thanks
