Problem with IE caching javascript

[k7]

Hi,
I have a oc4j application server hosting my application . I can see
from tcp monitor for eg: GET /scripts/main.js and the server responds
with last-modified timestamp. However for subsequent request IE does
not use if-modified-since and further for each script in Local Settings
is getting cached as main[1].js, main[2].js etc and also in different
directories. This does not happen for all script but if a page has some
15 scripts included the last 5 scripts show this behaviour. I would
appreciate if any one has seen this behaviour and resolution
regards,
k

Hi Randy ,
thanks for your response. The server does sett he Last-Modified in
response . But the IE is not setting If-Modified-Since header. The
problem is I have 15 scripts include and images. The IE is setting
If-Modified-Since for most of them but for some 4 or 5 javascript.
Then for each request the script is cached as main[1].js, main[2].js
.... even though server responds with correct Last-Modified timestamp

And at what % to full is the cache and does clearing it fix the behavior?

Hi Randy,
There is plenty of disk space for the cache . And also clearing cache
does not seems to solve the problem. I see that sometimes the script is
being cached in different directories too.

Hi,
I see that my app server oc4j is using transfer-encoding chunk for
content length greater than 100k . Now I see that any .js files which
is over 100k and chunked is not being cached properly by IE. I would
really appreciate can provide and pointers to this.
