no cache for linked downloads

Post by Mauly »

First, let me apologize for being such a newbie.
I have numerous links to download a pdf page on my website (selections in a Navigation Bar) and whenever I modify one of the pdfs I have to clear my browser 'cached images and files' to download the latest version. If I put a metatag in the Navigation Bar page I believe that only forces a reload of that page, not the linked pdf download. Any suggestions on how I can force the pdf to reload every time?

Thank you

I could not find any information about disabling links, but maybe this will be useful?

Thanx Pablo,

I assume that putting a metatag in the page will assure that the page is reloaded every time, but clicking on a link on that page or in a Navigation Bar does not resend the metatag and I'm sure the viewing computer does not 'remember' the metatag instruction.
To force a download to 'reload' would probably require something in the Navigation Bar link instruction or something I may prefix to the URL. If the former, perhaps something in the 'Target Window or Frame' / 'Value'????? There is a field for "URL Parameters for Internal Links' but nothing for external links.

Thanx for your help

As far as I know there is no special link tag for this.
I think you will have to configure this on the server (in htaccess)

Correct me if wrong... I take it that you wish the page to reload onclick of the link?

Yes. The page I want to reload is a pdf
