Hi!

How to force TidHTTP to read the current values of a
webserver instead of using the "old" cached on in the
proxy-server?

It's a XML-File, which should be retrieved directly 
by a Get-Command.

I allready tried
      Http.Request.Pragma := 'no-cache';
      Http.Request.CacheControl := 'no-cache';
but this doesn't work very fine :(

Any other idea? I don't know, which kind of proxy 
my customers will work with, so the solution has to
work with (as far as possible) any kind of proxy and
any kind of HTTP-Version.

Any idea?!

Well: you can't... If the proxy server doesn't honor the no-cache
request, then the only way is to query the web site directly (that is,
remove the proxy).

Good luck,

good luck. proxies are notorious for ignoring
the rules. some are sticklers and some aren't.

if you control the back end, you can throw a
random number into the url. This not only meets
your goals, it also fills up the cache with crap ;-)

another alternative is to post instead of get.
post responses aren't supposed to be cached either.
