I am using simple express to serve Backbone project. This is the file that we use:
app.configure('production', function () {
var myTime = 432000; //5 days
app.set('port', process.env.PORT || 80);
app.use(express.bodyParser());
app.use(express.methodOverride());
app.use(allowCrossDomain);
app.use(app.router);
app.use(express.static(__dirname + './../', { maxAge: myTime } ));
console.log("SERVING !!!");
});
Every deployment project is optimized using require.js (r.js). Files are Concenated, minified and uglified and deployed to production server.
Problem is the following. Assume I set the cache for 15 days. And on day 3 we deploy new project, meaning new version. Client browser will not pull new javascript's files, as it already has them cashed and valid.
How do I trick the browser to remove its cache with new files?
Thanks :D
