Guest Grim Reaper Posted November 17, 2003 Report Share Posted November 17, 2003 thank you mark, that makes things quite clear.....interesting though While a copy of a page is stored in a proxy cache, the original page could be updated, and users would never see it, because the proxy will return the stale copy to users. Even if a browser user clicks on Refresh or Reload, the proxy will still return the stale version.With MSIE for Windows, the fix is to use Ctrl-Refresh (hold down the Ctrl key while clicking on Refresh) or Ctrl-F5, which causes the transparent proxy to refresh its copy of the page from the original web serverso...if i read that right, all andsome had to do was to press control and F5.......none of this setting up another proxy business at all.

mark2 Posted November 17, 2003 Report Share Posted November 17, 2003 all andsome had to do was to press control and F5.......none of this setting up another proxy business at all.Possibly, but also possibly it could have been the DNS server not yet updated there.Perhaps when I first thought of proxy probs I should have checked that page. :o Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
