FuseBox and caching

Within our application we make full use of the latest FuseBox release together with ColdFusion 8 and the integrated Ajax functionality.

Lately we have been working on a "bug" where the language (when switched) is stored in a session variable and the pages displayed accordingly to the selected language. Now, what has happened is that the session variable has been set, but the pages did not display in the selected language.

First off, we thought that the session variables have been lost or the cftokens not passed correctly. But then after a while we figured that when one refreshes the cache of the browser the pages show in the correct language.

Thus it all boiled down, that we had to tell the browser not to cache the pages. this we achieved with the <cfheader> tag, like;

<cfheader name="Expires" value="#GetHttpTimeString(Now())#">

<cfheader name="CACHE-CONTROL" value="NO-CACHE, no-store, must-revalidate">
<cfheader name="PRAGMA" value="#GetHttpTimeString(Now())#">

Now, the pages reflect the language change correctly and we are all happy again.

The guys over at the Mozilla Foundation released beta 1 of the next Firefox release 3.

The most apparent feature is supposed to be the new bookmark management that is build on labels instead of a folder structure (which makes a lot of sense). Let's see how the browser holds up to its expectations and how it performs.

MacOS X 10.5.1 Update is here

It was rumored for some time now that Apple will bring an update as soon as possible for 10.5 and now it is here. So go and grab it over at Softwareupdate or  at the Apple Website for 10.5.1.

So far from reading what has been improved I don't see a lot of things fixed that people mentioned on various blogs but let's see. Make sure to have a backup before updating.
