IE6 and caching

Question

It looks like IE6 is ignoring any cache invalidation sent via HTTP headers, I tried setting Pragma to No Cache and setting Cache Expiration to the current time, but in IE6 beats will always pull out the cached version of the page I'm working on.

Is there a specific HTTP header that IE6 is listening on too?

Answer 1

Cache-Control: private, max-age=0must fix it. From classic ASP, this is done using Response.Expires=-1.

Answer 5

see Question: Make sure the webpage is not cached in all browsers. How to control caching of web pages across all browsers? I think this will help in your problem too.

Answer 6

Content with "Content-Encoding: gzip" is always cached, although you use "Cache-Control: no-cache"

You can also disable gzip only for IE6
