[fusion-users] ApplicationDefinition.xml and the browser cache

[Paul Spencer]

Stuart,

I think some browsers or web servers complain if you add query string  
parameters to a GET request for static content.

There is supposed to be a way to modify the request headers on the  
client side to avoid caching, I'm pretty sure that hasn't been done in  
the fusion code yet.

Obviously for production use, you want caching enabled so typically  
for development/debugging we use the web development extension for  
FireFox which provides an option to disable the cache and a shortcut  
to clear the cache.  For IE, there is a similar developer toolbar  
which allows you to clear the cache quickly, and another thing called  
IE Tester which allows you to run different versions of IE in tabs  
that has a Refresh Complete (no cache) option.

Cheers

Paul
