That looks really like a (reverse caching or transparat) proxy issue which ignores the expiry headers. Such proxies mostly do obey a SHIFT+RELOAD to refresh the cached copy. What are the response times when you see an old page? I think it will be too fast to be delivered by a "live" ez publish site.
I would recommend that you test this: do some publishing changes, run ./bin/shell/clearcache.sh --clear-all in the root directory of your ez publish installation. If the content-changes now are viewable, then there are some problems with the ez publish cachingsystem.
I've also notised some weird stuff with this..sometimes when I clear the content-cache with clearcache.sh --clear-all under high load on the server, some of our pages are just going blank, and I have to re-run the clearcache-command to make the content visible again.
I still could not figure out what the problem is. i tried your suggestions concerning the browser cache. there it got interesting. i disabled the caching in firefox, set the cachesize to 0 and the time for history as well. still, i did not get the recent version of the site. as i cleared the, presumably empty, cache the site properly refreshed. i just don't know what happened there. though i figured out a difference between the two sites. the first one got adressed by a proper nameserver, unlike the second, whose domain i put manually in my c:\windows\hosts file.
any experiences with that kind of stuff?
thanks in advance ulf
this might be exactly the problem. i compared the status bar during the refreshing of the two different sites. while the working site featured mozilla to say "transferring data from..." the not properly working site produced "reading ...". can anyone tell me what happens here?
I have had similar problems with the browsers mentioned (firefox, mozilla and even Netscape7). These browsers seems to ingnore if the user settings concerning caching. Also Firefox ignores my setting of diskspace and caches the site anyways. So if you hit everytime you need a "new version" of your site, the "clear all cache" button in the firefox setting dialoge, it will get the newest site.
At the FAQ site of Firefox are some suggestions, how to disable cache totaly: http://texturizer.net/firefox/tips.html#oth_cache
I hope this helps.
