Darran Lofthouse created WFCORE-4050: ---------------------------------------- Summary: Web Browsers unable to detect updated management consoles. Key: WFCORE-4050 URL: https://issues.jboss.org/browse/WFCORE-4050 Project: WildFly Core Issue Type: Bug Components: Management Affects Versions: 6.0.0.CR2 Reporter: Darran Lofthouse Assignee: Jeff Mesnil It is common for developers using the application server to run multiple versions locally and switch between them as they need - meaning they have multiple versions that could listen at a common location at different times. It is also common for an upgrade to be performed where an earlier version is replaced with a later version listening at the same address. Web browsers are generally unable to detect this with the recommended workaround being to clear the web browser caches. A users cache does not just cache our admin console, it may contain large amounts of cached data from other sites / apps which would end up being purges. Clearing cookies would not just affect our admin console, this would clear all existing authentications. Additionally since the introduction of GDPR cookies are commonly being used to store users preferences, clearing cookies means these preferences need to be re-entered. We should be able to handle this with appropriate caching headers and supporting conditional matches from the web browser. -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v7.5.0#75005)
