back button caching problem in firefox browser

[Gerard de Vos]

Hello,

In our project we have a problem concerning the behaviour of the firefox browser compared to the IE browser. They are all operating under the Windows platform.

We have looked on Google and on the Javaranch forums for a solution but we couldn't find one. Maybe someone can help.

In our code we use the following to solve caching problems for the Internet Explorer browser:

response.setHeader("Cache-Control", "no-cache");
response.setHeader("Cache-Control", "no-store");
response.setHeader("Pragma", "no-cache");
response.setDateHeader("Expires", 0);

This works fine indeed for Internet Explorer but not for the Firefox browser.

Can someone tell us how to solve this problem for Firefox.

Thanks a lot in advance,

Regards,

Gerard

I'm not sure this is related to your problem but give it a shot.

"no-store" worked fine for me with FF 1.5. Try to add settings in HTML as
<meta ...>
I just tested with "no-store" on FF 1.5 and it worked. You may use some HTTP traffic monitoring tool just in case if your web container does something wrong with headers.
