Re: expiring content on win2k and IIS5 servers

BTW. It's common to use a negative number (because of clock differences). We
use response.buffer=true response.expires = -1440 which works.

We are not using the IIS Session management so this is not an option.
Fortunately I got it working using Response.ExpiresAbsolute = #January 01
2000# instead of Response.Expires = 0.

thanks for your help!
