not to store in Temporary Internet Files

**dotJoon** · Feb 3, 2007 23:43

Code:

     <meta http-equiv='pragma' content='no-cache'>

I guessed that the code above makes not to store in the folder "Temporary "Internet Files."

In order to test it, I made the following code.

Code:

 index.htm

<html>

  <head>
    <title>my secret page</title>
     <meta http-equiv='pragma' content='no-cache'>
  </head>

  <body>

       my secret content.

  </body>

</html>

After I delete all files in the folder "Temporary Internet Files," I open the page index.htm. Then I can still see index.htm in the folder "Temporary Internet Files."

I like to make "index.htm" not to store in the folder "Temporary Internet Files."

What code do I have to put in index.htm for that?

You need to make your web server send the proper HTTP headers. It's a bit of an art form, really. See this tutorial for more information.

You should probably also use the HTTP 1.1 Cache-Control header as well (or instead).

Read the tutorial Tommy linked to.

HTTP headers are not in the file itself. A meta element is not reliable and proxies won't pay any attention to them. Browsers are not required to pay any attention to them (they were not intended for browsers in the first place).

If you're using Apache then you can use .htaccess

Code:

<Files index.htm>
 Header set Cache-Control no-chache
 Header set Pragma no-cache
</Files>
