RE: Have any hinet or rules to prevent loading old webpage ??

        Dear Sir:
        Yes, we use transparency proxy. And this problem is always annoying
our users and us.
        So we want to find out some methods to fix.

        You mean if our client doesn't configured to use proxy server.
Browser will not know transpancy proxy between client and original server.
Am I right ?
        And assume no proxy between clients and original server.
        Dose this problem be able to erase by forcing our client to
configured their browser to use Proxy.pac file (Autoconfiguration file) ?
 
        According another mail , sir you reply this kind problem should be
some kind "date" problem. Dose any possible remote server doesn't change
file modified date after user have modified those files ?

        Thanks!!

Best regards,

Sounds like you are running a "transparent" proxy and your users are
using Microsoft IE. The reload button in IE only tells "external" caches
to reload their content if the browser is configured to use a proxy
(else it assumes there is no cache in between itself and the origin
server).

The best "workaround" is to have the user configure their proxy
settings. It may also work if they upgrade IE to the latest&greatest
version which is said to support transparent proxies.

Using Netscape should also work fine (all versions).
