Okay, so, loads of people are playing Space Cows now thanks to B3ta, and I'm keeping on top of the bug reports.

However, whenever I change the JS, I need to find a way to force people's browsers to reload the new AH CHRIST OF COURSE I KNOW HOW OKAY TA

What was the answer? Timestamps?

No, have php add the revision number on as a url parameter on the end of any external files, for example
Code:
<script type="text/javascript" src="myjavascriptfile.js?rev=00005" />

Then, when the version number changes, all the JS files are considered "new" by the browser, but will still be cached aggressively (which is what I want, the actual game screen has 368.4KB of external scripts :S).

Yeah, that's fair enough :)

Ah, yes. Timestamps (added in the same fashion) would obviously eliminate caching entirely.

You aren't supposed to have to do this; ETags are supposed to allow the web browser to probe whether cached content is valid or not in an efficient manner. I'm not sure why this wouldn't be working for you though.

See, I have never been able to get ETags to work reliably, despite Y!Slow raving about them.
