Details

I have javascript that adds <script type="text/javascript" src="something.js"> tags to the HEAD of my pages. When I upload new something.js, forced reload will not reload the script. The current workarounds: 1) Provide a link directly to the something.js, reload it, and go back to original page. This is a nightmare for users. 2) Suffix the src with "?somerandomstuff". But we loose browser caching when the file doesn't change. Maybe I will make a page, with constantly updated js file, that demonstrates the problem. If you can confirm this is a bug, or a dup, before I do that; it would be appreciated .
