ASP wont expire

[incron]

Hello everyone

I have a challenge with my ASP page I cannot get it to expire. I have tried and added several lines of code including pragma statements and Expire.Absolute as well as setting the expire setting to -2000 - no change. I have waited for quite some time and still no expire. Currently it look like this

option explicit
Response.Expires = -2000
Response.cacheControl="no cache"
Response.AddHeader "pragma","no-cache"
Response.AddHeader "cache-control","private"
Response.CacheControl = "no-cache"



Server.ScriptTimeout = 600
' All communication must be in UTF-8, including the response back from the request
Session.CodePage = 65001

response.expires has to be a POSITIVE value in minutes.

Negative values means NO cache expiry is set. meaning never expire.

Expire.Absolute? there is no such object OR property.

Response.ExpiresAbsolute which takes a date and time as the value does.

Chris - thanks I will try it - and FYI this is taken directly for MSDN


you can use a negative number for the Expires property to expire the response immediately, as shown in the following code:
<%Response.Expires = -1 %>

Chris I set the HTTP Headers to expire in 1 minute and matched that to the setting on the asp page as follows:

<% Response.ExpiresAbsolute = #May 31,2010 13:30:15# %>

I then restarted the dedicated server

No change

I also tried <% Response.ExpiresAbsolute = Now() %>
No change


Incidentally running 2003 svr with IIS 6.0

Update

Ok guys


I have tried everything I have even set the asp page to session.abandon at the very top. I have set the expire setting in IIS to expire immediately. I have reset the website and stopped cleared and restarted firefox and it still wont expire the page.

I have also restarted the entire dedicated svr – no change. Any ideas…

Are you sure Firefox doesn't have a Session Manager add-on installed which restores sessions?

If that's true is there anyway to pragmatically bypass this from the ASP perspective?

 

[MarkSweetland]

Here's a link that has some information on the subject. There is a tidbit about enabling cache expiration in IIS itself:

To specify headers for an area of a site, select it in the Administration Tools interface, and bring up its properties. After selecting the HTTP Headers tab, you should see two interesting areas; Enable Content Expiration and Custom HTTP headers. The first should be self-explanatory, and the second can be used to apply Cache-Control headers.

Thanks Mark

I tried several adjustments on the Headers In IIS earlier to no avail. I wonder if it has something to do with flash being embedded in the asp file...??

 

[MarkSweetland]

I don't work with Flash, so I couldn't tell you. Without knowing the circumstances and issue you are trying to solve, it's hard to suggest a work around as well.
