Crazy caching question

While this references Javascript, I don't think this question necessarily belongs in the developer's area.  It's more a caching question than development.  If I'm wrong a moderator can feel free to m...

Unfortunately no luck.  I checked both WFE's for that farm and they both say:

enabled="false"

 

At the end of the line in the config file.

When you run Fiddler on the client, are you seeing HTTP 304's on the content?

    I hadn't run fiddler on any of the end user's machines yet.  Unfortunately that isn't an easy option as the images are pretty locked down, and I'll have to get the computer security team's permission to install that.

     

    Assuming I can get that run, what would a 304 tell me if I do find it?  If I find it on a user who is seeing the old charms, but not on a user who's seeing the new ones, what would that tell me?

     

    Thanks for replying.

      The 304s would validate that the browser is seeing "Not Modified", even after you've modified the file.

        So how would you fix something like that?

         

        One of the things that has driven me nuts about this is that the clearing the browser and Ctrl F5 aren't forcing the browser to go out and grab the updated content.  In the past that has been so dependable for fixing browser related problems that having it not work is unsettling.
