Updated site not showing up in AOL Browser.. cookies?
|
Sorry guys but I hope this in the right area...
A Mate of mine uses AOL and so uses the AOL browser. I am building a site for him and he uses his AOL browser to look at it.
Thing is, I have updated the site and everyone can see the updates but HE cannot. The old site loads up still?
Is this something to do with his cookies or something?
Either way, anyone got a solution?
Thanks in advance.

Maybe he's looking at a cached version (either the browser's cache or one at the server). Ask him to keep the 'Ctrl' keyboard button held down while refreshing the page.

My ISP uses a 'transparent proxy cache' to speed up browsing. This is how I was aware of what the problem might be. It works the same as the browser cache but at server level. Pages come from there if they have been visited before. Ctrl+Refresh forces the server to go off and get the latest copy of the page from the Internet proper, rather than get it from the transparent cache.
