Force Reload of Javascript

Hi there,


this may seem like a stupid question, but it seems I am struggling with 
the Browsers' cache handling of Javascript Code.

Let me start by describing what happens: I change some javascript code 
in my Seaside app, deploy it onto the server and restart the image.

For many (but not all) users, the changes don't get downloaded for days. 
They need to go to a page, press the Browser's reload button and from 
then on they are fine. This is both good to know and bad at the same 
time for several reasons:

  * some users never call and are frustrated
  * the number of support cases causes high cost

The effect shows up both for Javascript that gets served from the file 
system (using rewrite rules) and for code served directly from Seaside 
in the render* methods.

For the file system stuff, we have to work on the caching settings on 
Apache. But I am really helpless in case of "freshly rendered" 
JavaScript code. How could that even be cached by a Browser???


Any hints are welcome


Joachim
