01/31/2004 Archived Entry: "It wasn't Greymatter"

I must apologize. I blamed Greymatter for a problem that didn't belong to Greymatter. I am on the road. I am using a hotel wifi. It appears that the hotel has a cache server. I could clean out my history, delete all my temporary internet files, and still see my older page. So I went to the forums at the Greymatter page. They checked and they were seeing the updated (newer) page. I asked my wife to check she did and she was seeing the updated page. So I went to find out about a html tag that would tell a cache server not to hold on to the old page. I found it through google at http://www.i18nguy.com/markup/metatags.html. So I have added this tag to the header of this page:

&ltMETA HTTP-EQUIV="CACHE-CONTROL" CONTENT="NO-CACHE"&gt

This tells cache servers not to hold on to the page. Thus my problem is solved.
