Thanks,
For asp.net solution, Response.ClearHeaders() is needed before, because is not ’set’.

Thanks, the ’set’ instead of ‘add’ header solved the prob.

Hi Grace

Check out http://www.w3.org/Protocols/rfc2616/rfc2616-sec14.html.
The “public” value is not even defined. The only defined value is “no-cache”. I’ll tried different combinations (if not all) of the headers to get things running.

have a nice weekend

Very nice and detailed information. And it worked!
I just have one question. Do you know by setting Pragma to be public, it will potentially have any security concern?
