problem viewing updated web pages

[[email protected]]

hi,
i'm rebuilding a web page, and my colleague in south africa is usually unable to see the updated content for a long time after its been published.
after research i was given the address of a thread on myadsl from just over a year ago, on this subject. this was helpful in giving a way of forcing updating of a single page (by adding a question mark and a few random letters directly to the end of the pages address); however there didnt seem to b a solution to the telkom problem, as telkom denied there was one.
i wonder if anyone with telkom/adsl experience has any updates on this situation? many thanks.

The problem is not with Telkom. The problem is on the met-tags on your page, it specifies if the page should be cached or not and for how long. If you specify that it should not be cached it gets reloaded everytime.

I can't remember exactly what the tags are, it is a while since I've done any development myself. Maybe one of the other members can help.

bb_matt where are you mate?

This is no doubt the Transparent Proxy problem in action?

I'm too lazy to go find a better description, and I also don't know enough to describe them myself, but this might help a bit:
