Coming from the "Six of One" department, Lockergnomie John Lyon found a way not to get help. Certain ISPs (cable modem providers, etc.) have set up dedicated hardware to cache frequently accessed data. This typically makes your surfing experience a bit smoother; every once in a while, however, that cache gets in your way. You may need to refresh a page to see the latest version and the command may not take. It's time to trick the server into thinking that you're trying to see a different page. This may not work with every Web server, but if you've exhausted all other options (or tired of flushing the cache every other minute), it's worth a shot. Simply change the case of the document for which you're attempting to retrieve. So, you could switch gnomies.html to Gnomies.html or gnomies.Html. As long as that server isn't case sensitive, you should be good to go.
