So my website: ropinranch.com
looks FINE on any browser (so far) if you haven't accessed the page in the past. But for any of my previous users, it looks messed up when they load it.
We've all cleared all of our cookies, and emptied our cache. I even edited a new image on the page to see if that would change and it DID.
I cannot think any other way the page would be keeping memory of it.
One of my testers said that if they had the page bookmarked in the past of it working fine, that when clicking on the bookmark it loads fine still -- but typing in a URL fails.
Any other ideas on what I'm missing here?
Update: I realized what happened -- but I'm unsure how to fix.
https://ropinranch.com WORKS
but
www.ropinranch.com does not. I know theres a setting in my c-pannel to change this but I don't know what it's called
Try ctrl+F5 to reload the page without caching.
This helped me temporarily:
By Varun: If you are just testing, could you try passing a timestamp or random number in the URL ( manually , just for testing ) and check. Eg : http://ropinranch.com?f=141414542343 (each time with a diff number )
But What I did was I had to go through the server and reroute all traffic to my SSL site rather than things of www. or http://

My page references a lot of PDF's. If the user loses connection to the Internet or their network, which unfortunately seems to happen quite a bit for our users in the middle of nowhere, I would still like them to be able to access the PDF's.
Using the Application Cache mostly works, except that it also caches the current page itself, and I can't figure out how to get it not to do that. The page itself changes frequently so I don't want it to cache. I know I can find out if it has changed, but that just means I have to refresh the page after they're already using it, which is not ideal.
So is there any way to NOT have the current page cache, but have everything else in my manifest file be cached?
I tried several different things without success. I added an iframe, which did seem to cache the PDFs, but when I went offline my current page did not access them from the cache (because the browser didn't know to grab it from the cache I would guess, I just know it didn't work). I also tried adding the current page to the NETWORK section of the manifest, so it wouldn't be cached, but it didn't work (it was still cached).
Am I missing something? Is there a better alternative for what I want?
It works without the "download" attribute on the anchor tag.
If anyone else has the same problem, the iframe solution does work (where you add a hidden iframe to the page, and the iframe is pointed to a page that has a manifest file for everything you need). It just doesn't work if you have a download attribute on your anchor tag.
That's about 3 hours I'll never get back...
I have uploaded my website by Cyberduck. However, now I want to make some changes. I did edit it in the host but when I access the website through my domain, id didn't change anything.
I don't know whether I did something wrong or the changes need take time.
Most likely it would be cached somewhere. Try opening your website in incognito mode (Chrome), I ain't sure what it's called on other browsers & see if you see the updated content on website.
I have a mediawiki at http://spider.dnsdojo.net running on LAMP. I enabled the use of InstantCommons while trying to setup the UploadWizard extension. Ever since I can't get at least one of my images to show up correctly. It keeps showing the InstantComons image even though I have disabled the use of InstantCommons.
-So far I've
cleared the cache and cookies on chrome
purged the site using index.php?title=3x3x3_LED_Cube&action=purge
delete all images and re-upload
It's driving me crazy, because when I click on the image it takes me to the file page which shows the correct jpg. What am I doing wrong?
I'm not sure if this is a MediaWiki bug or if I was just doing something wrong, but I finally got the proper image showing up. What finally did it, I think, was uploading the image and then uploading it again over top of itself. Maybe this will save someone else a few hours of frustration.
I'm trying to achieve sticky forms without PHP. My setup is AJAX like javascript. The back/forward work fine on both IE and FF, but refresh only works on FF, not IE. Doesn't matter what cache options I use, I've even set IE's temporary files option to never check for updates, and the input value is gone after page refresh(the refresh button or F5)
I've read many posts where people have the opposite problem, and do not want form data to persist across page refresh, and never read from browser cache, but I do.
Any help is appreciated, thanks!
ps. posts like HTML - input value kept after Refresh are exactly the opposite of my problems
IE/Chrome/Safari/Opera/etc has the expected behavior.
I consider it a bug that FF doesn't actually refresh the fields when you click refresh.
After all, the purpose of the refresh is to dump what you have and reload from the server. For Firefox to then merge any changed information / fields back into the form is unexpected behavior and, IMHO, bad by design.
Also note that this one issue has been fought over at Mozilla for 10 years. It is a source of MANY duplicate bug reports, is considered by many to be a critical failure, and is quite frankly a complete PITA. I don't know how many times I've had to explain to non-techies why the Firefox reload button doesn't, well, reload the page.
Lately I've taken to just telling them that the Firefox reload button is broken and that they have to either hold down the shift key which clicking refresh or use a different browser. Thankfully we have choices.
--- Update due to a comment stating confusion as to what F5 and Ctrl-F5 are --
All browsers (except Firefox) treat F5 as "reload". Which means reload the page either from cache or from the server if cache is disabled. Firefox does do the reload, but it also repopulates any boxes with stuff you've typed in... Provided those fields still exist. IMHO, this is bad behavior as a page may have changed and you end up in a very invalid state with some things filled in and others not.
To be clear, the cache does not contain what you typed in the page; cache only contains what the server sent you. So Firefox itself takes this extra step of trying to merge previously typed in and unsubmitted data. Again, NONE of the other browsers do this and it is a source of much confusion.
All browsers (including Firefox) treat Ctrl F5 as "reload from server". This ignores any files you've cached (images, css, javascript, etc) and pulls it brand new from the server. Thankfully, Firefox does not merge unsubmitted data back into the page when you do a Ctrl-F5.
Even though I agree with Chris, would this be of any help?

It would allow you to store things in the URL (like phps GET) and access them with javascript
I'm developing an HTML newsletter system using PHP & PEAR. It sends out the emails fine.
However I cannot force Apple Mail to reload images from the server. I have tried:
Restarting Mail
Clear ~/Library/MailDownloads
Clear ~/Library/Cache/Mail
Empty Safari cache
Does any one know where Apple Mail caches the images ?
Is adding a dummy query string to all image URLs an option for you?
<img src="http://example.com/images/hello.png?343882881923"/>
You'd simply update the query string to prevent the cached image from being used.
You could use OnyX to clear all apps cache and also tune up other aspects of the OS.
I just encountered this problem, and was able to solve it by quitting Mail and deleting:
~/Library/Caches/com.apple.mail/Cache.db
Using the latest FSeventer program I traced the cache file to:
/private/var/folders/Sl/rand chars+++TM/-Caches-/com.apple.mail/Cache.db
I tried turning of internet connection, deleting the file, and then viewing the HTML newsletters. No images loaded. After re-connecting and viewing the HTML mail the Cache.db file grew to 1MB in size.
There seems to be another intermediary cache. I tried deleting the cache & disconnectinf whilst viewing two different newsletters. They bothy displayed properly. After I quit and re-opened Mail, they images did not display.
So it is possible to delete the cache, but I have not found a way to force refresh the images.
I spent some time playing with this today and was able to duplicate the problem easily. The image in mail doesn't change - whichever picture shows when you first look at the email seems to stay with that message no matter how many times you change the image on the server. Even when I forward the message to myself it doesn't reload the picture. Wow. And I couldn't find the images anywhere in any cache, either.
I did find a reference from last summer to this same problem with no real answer. One person agreed with Leandro Ardissone's answer and recommends using OnyX to "trash the Application Cache", but it's only a one time fix.
The "dummy query string" suggested by Ates Goral worked great for me, so if you can deal with changing that every time you change the picture that seems to be your best bet.
Wish I could be more help, but I'm stumped.
I think we need someone from the Apple Mail group to enlighten us to a real fix!
