window.location.reload

[Aaron Fude]

Hi,

When

window.location .reload(true);

is executed, is the browser supposed to take notice of the fact that
the content type may have changed (say, from text/html to image/jpeg)
and that the new content should be handled differently? If the answer
is "yes", does Internet Explorer follow this rule?

Thanks!

Aaron


PS: This is an unrelated question. I sometimes post a pdf file on my
website, but I forget to set the permissions, so the user gets a
"cannot view this file" message. When I am notified, I fix the
permissions, but when the user hits Refresh, they get raw pdf instead
of having Acrobat open the file. In some cases they need to hit Ctrl-
Refresh and in other cases they need to close the browser and open it
again. I'm assuming it's a browser issue that I have no control over
(except for setting permissions correctly the first time). I don't
really have a question here.

As a quick follow up, the problem that I described only occurs with
IExplorer and not with any other browsers.

Thanks

Which version(s) have you tested with on which operating systems on which
platforms? (The unforged navigator.userA gent strings would suffice for an
answer.)

Why not use cookies for state and try :-

window.location .href = http://www.whereever.c om/whatever";
