meta tag to expire content

XML, Perl, Python, and other languages can be discussed here, even if it isn't PHP (We might forgive you).

meta tag to expire content

Post by intellivision »

Is there a meta tag to expire content so the client will ask the server for images, html etc.?

-- why I'm asking is --

I change my site's logo occasionally, as a joke, and I want my users to see the image on next page request. Image name stays the same -- as does the html. Just the image itself changes (new one overwrites old).

TIA

just don't allow caching

General usage of "Expires" meta tag:
<META name="Expires" content="Tue, 27 Sep 2005 19:58:02 GMT">
