Testing applets - how to clear cache?
843807Mar 25 2005 — edited Mar 25 2005I test an applet. Fix a bug and retest, but the old applet's still in cache so my browser doesn't bother to reload. Closing and restarting the browser works, but is slow. Adding a version suffix (app_a, app_b, ...) is also slow.
I'm testing in Netscape, IE, Firefox and Opera. They all cache applets much too tenaciously.
This came to a head when I wrote a trivial applet to launch something, and had a typo-driven button that said "Lauch ...". Went back, added an "n" and retested. Of course it still said "Lauch ..." and I really don't like being reminded of how dumb I can be. Help!
