You probably need one of these HTTP Headers:Cache-Control: no-cache
-------------------------------------
Also, the server is not giving out an expires date. Netscape reports:
Expires: No date given
Here's the scoop from O'Rielly's on the HTTP EXPIRES header (chapter 19 - Webmaster in a Nutshell):
-------------------------------------
Expires
Expires: date
This header specifies the time when a document may change or its information becomes invalid. After that time, the document may or may not change or be deleted. The value is a date and time in a valid format as described for the Date header.
Date
Date: dateformat
Indicates the current date and time. The preferred date format is RFC 1123. For example:
Mon, 06 May 1996 04:57:00 GMT
For backwards compatibility, however, the RFC 850 and ANSI C asctime() formats are also acceptable:
Monday, 06-May-96 04:57:00 GMT Mon May 6 04:57:00 1996
