IE8 cache problem

soso_xuc Nov 9, 2009 3:07 PM

Im using Richfaces 3.3.2 SR1 and Jboss 4.2.3 server.

With FF3.5 all images, js and css files are cached (i use httpwatch to see this).

In case of IE8 most of files are not cached.

How to force IE to cache files ?

Here is my web.xml

Hi,

Are you checking this with refresh button or just page navigation controls?

can't confirm. checked with IE 8 and Fiddler for catching requests. On browser refresh I can see many 304 resources requests but on navigation - no one cached resource called.

Checked at livedemo with IE7 and result is the same: caching works ok, I can't reproduce the issue.
