IWeb Browser Caches Huge Headache!

I have (finally) successfully designed my website and for the most part, it's working well. The issue I'm having at the moment is that when I update the website, I have to clear my browser caches each and every time in order to see the changes. I have tried using Internet Explorer (on my boyfriend's PC-he's stil playing for the other team), Safari, Firefox (both PC and Mac) and Crome (both Mac and PC). It's the same for all of them. It's not a big deal for me but it is a HUGE deal for people that are wanting to see the most recent version of the site. I have had a couple of friends check it out for me (Mac as well as PC users) and they are all having the same problem as well. Surely not every person who wants to see my site will have to clear their caches each time??? Is there a setting or something that I can add to my site via iWeb so that it forces it to load the pages each and every time, rather than from a cache?
Just in case...the site is www.nhwctr.org
Thanks!

Regarding your landing page URL, you should remove the apostrophe in the page name.
Emptying the browser cache is one of these things that people should do at some point in any browsing session - but don't appear to.
To force the browser to load from the server evry time, the following can be added to the html doc...
<meta http-equiv=”pragma” content=”no-cache” />
This can't, of course be done in iWeb and would have to be added every time you publish updates in the same way that you add the other meta data for SEO...

The end user can force the page to load from the server, rather than the cache, by adding a ? to the end of the URL.
Normally you would be collecting your regular visitors' email addresses using a contact form and sending them an update newsletter. This is website marketing at its most basic...
http://www.iwebformusicians.com/Website-Email-Marketing/Website-Marketing.html
In the bulk emailed flyer, you can attach a ? to the URLs of the updated pages.
You should, of course, keep the search engines up to date as well by submitting a new sitemap.xml every time you publish changes to your site...

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.

Browser cache ignore no longer works after windows update

Just thought I'd share that after the windows update I did
this week, the browser cache blocking trick described in many
places where you put ?r=<randomnumber> at the end of a URL no
longer works. Not exactly sure what happened, but it now causes a
URL not found error, at least for me when I'm loading local files
off my disk.
This thread talks about the cache blocking trick:
http://www.adobe.com/cfusion/webforums/forum/messageview.cfm?forumid=15&catid=665&threadid =1357763&highlight_key=y&keyword1=cache

Here's a technique I use. In a php file:
header("Expires: Mon, 20 Jul 1997 05:00:00 GMT");
header("Cache-Control: no-store, no-cache, must-revalidate");
header("Cache-Control: post-check=0, pre-check=0", FALSE);
header("Pragma: no-cache");
This must be wrapped in php tags.

Browser.cache.check_doc_frequency=1 doesn't work

Hi guys, running FF27.01 on W7SP1.
I have a lot of tabs open and I set FF to reopen them at every launch, my problem is that FF hardly ever checks whether those webpages were updated when I reopen it....Opera, Chrome & IE do it, why not FF? Who could possibly want to read an outdated webpage?
So I did set "browser.cache.check_doc_frequency" to "1"(I tried all possibilities actually), now FF is kind enough to check whether the webpage was updated on some sites....very few sites actually.
This is a known issue from what I found running a google search and the solution was either to clear the cache when FF closes or to use Chrome...I don't like either of those two options.
This is my problem: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/754829
Is this a bug? Am I missing something here?
Hope you can help, I'm getting tired of being forced to manually refresh every tab :(

It makes no sense to allow the browser to remember the open tabs from the previous session, add a hidden "browser.cache.check_doc_frequency=1" configuration option and ignore it altogether.
Whatever IE, Chrome or Opera are able to remember the open tabs from the previous session and chech whether they've been updated.....it's hard to believe that the FF team finds the contrary acceptable?
I couldn't locate any extension that would get FF to stop living in the past, I guess I'll install Chrome or Opera as it seems that this bug will never be fixed. Too bad I really like FF but manual refreshes are getting old.
But it's definitely a bug as setting this option to "1" makes some webpages(head-fi.org for instance) auto-update but not others(forum.doom9.org), something's fishy in the HTTP headers checks.

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.

Clear browser cache

I'm using LC Forms 6, and we have a form rendered in HTML. Once the form is submitted we want to be able to clear out the browser cache upon rendering the form in it's final format, which is a submitted successfully page. Is there a way to programatically clear the browser cache either through javascript in the form designer, or in the Java servlet?
Thanks!

Where is browser cache file for Firefox 5.0? For example, if I hear a sound on an url, how do I retrieve it or anything else that's in the cache??

Where is the browser cache file in Firefox 5.0? It's my understanding that in prior versions, one only had to type "about:cache" in the address bar to retrieve the cache file. But this doesn't work on 5.0. I want to retrieve sound files from Cornell.edu ornithology website but cannot find where the file is located. In IE6.0 one only had to go to tools > internet options > settings > view files = viola!! As for prior versions of Firefox, the plug-in CacheViewer was very helpful but is incompatible w/ Firefox 5.0. Please help!

A-OK, Xircal. Absolutely correct. I had a space where it should not have been. Problem solved. Thx bunches.

Setting browser.cache.check_doc_frequency = 0 doesn't work

Setting the value of property browser.cache.check_doc_frequency to 0 has no effect. After restarting my browser all items still coming from the local cache.
btw. if I set the value to 1, it works as described [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Browser.cache.check_doc_frequency here]

You can only make that work if you use Clear Recent History to clear the browser cache when you close Firefox.<br />
That will make it impossible to retrieve the page from the local cache.<br />
The above mentioned pref only seems to have effect if you visit the website and not when you restore a tab with the page.
*Tools > Options > Privacy : History: [X] Clear history when Firefox closes > Settings

Private browsing, security problem, browser cache

It is now impossible (5.0.1) to clear the browser cache (safari, iPhone 4s). So when I type a letter in the url bar, I see appear the list of sites that I looked in the past, even though I deleted cookies, cleared the history ... even in private browsing!
Private Browsing is not really private so you can see the sites visited just by typing the letters "a" to "z" in the url bar, right?
Best regards
Jean-Louis

Select your bookmarks bar, go to history and then click clear.
[Edit]
I just did it and it worked.

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

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:
