Limit downloading falsh files in to client's browser

[swapnamaria]

Hello,
Is there a way to limit downloading flash files in to the user's system??? I tried the cache approach but it is not working in IE (although it's working fine in Netscape).

I tried the following code, as was suggested by a member in this forum.

header("Cache-Control: no-cache");
header("Pragma: no-cache");
header("Expires: -1");

I tried this too with no luck

header("Cache-Control: no-store, no-cache, must-revalidate"); // HTTP/1.1
header("Cache-Control: post-check=0, pre-check=0", false);
header("Pragma: no-cache"); // HTTP/1.0

Does anybody has any suggestions??? Is there a method other than limiting cacheing???

this is kindof late, but i found this at http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.header.php :

<?php
header("Expires: Mon, 26 Jul 1997 05:00:00 GMT");    // Date in the past
header("Last-Modified: " . gmdate("D, d M Y H:i:s") . " GMT"); 
                                                     // always modified
header("Cache-Control: no-store, no-cache, must-revalidate");  // HTTP/1.1
header("Cache-Control: post-check=0, pre-check=0", false);
header("Pragma: no-cache");                          // HTTP/1.0
?>

no-store and must-revalidate should do it... hope this snippet or the link help you out.

Thanks for the reply. I tried your code but IE still cache images and flash files..

Can we limit cache using any other method??

Thanks,
