Reloading a corrupted page

August 18, 2008
By Computer security

A page may be corrupted if a previous user interrupted its transmission and an incomplete page is stored in cache, or a user may wish to download a new copy of a page to ensure it is the most up-to-date.In Netscape Navigator, hold the Shift key and press Reload (Macintosh users should use option instead of shift). Netscape sends a special code causing all proxies on the way to bypass the cache, go directly to the source and cache the result.

Currently, Internet Explorer does not implement this facility. If you run a Squid server, you may also use the Cache Manager, cachemgr.cgi, which allows you to force a refresh of a cached object.
