Is there any way to diable the caching of a single javascript file in my ASP.NET applicaiton without disabling the caching of any other files in the application?
It is running on IIS 7 in Azure, so to me it seems that my only options of controlling this are within the webserver tags.
I currently use the folowwing config, but this is disabling cache on all files.
<modules runAllManagedModulesForAllRequests="true"/>
<staticContent>
<clientCache cacheControlMode="DisableCache"/>
</staticContent>
</system.webServer>
I just want to disable cache of a single javascript file that changes quite often.
Is it possible?
I just stumbled across this question; you can use the following to disable the cache on a specific file:
<configuration> <location path="path/to/the/file"> <system.webServer> <staticContent> <clientCache cacheControlMode="DisableCache" /> </staticContent> </system.webServer> </location> </configuration>
(Note that the path is relative to the web.config file)
Alternatively, place the single file in a directory on it's own, and give that directory it's own web.config that disables caching for everything in it;
<configuration> <system.webServer> <httpProtocol> <customHeaders> <add name="Cache-Control" value="no-cache" /> </customHeaders> </httpProtocol> </system.webServer> </configuration>
[Both tested on IIS7.5 on Windows 7, but you'll have to confirm that it works OK on Azure]
Looks like the above answer is missing a "profiles" tag
<caching>
<profiles>
<add extension=".js" kernelCachePolicy="DontCache" policy="DontCache"/>
</profiles>
</caching>
