    Aggressive caching within BC?

      Is anyone else experiencing intermittent overly aggressive caching of CSS & JS files by BC? E.g., the changes I make to the this .js file over SFTP don't propagate to the front end until I change the url params. The text on line 2 (after the comment opening) varies on each of these files:

       

      ""

      http://www.dartconnections.org.au/V2/javascript/engine.js?cachebuster=2014-10-23T10:56:50

       

      "foobar"

      http://www.dartconnections.org.au/V2/javascript/engine.js?cachebuster=2014-10-21T16:58:36

       

      "foobarbaz"

      http://www.dartconnections.org.au/V2/javascript/engine.js?cachebuster=2014-10-23T11:02:48

       

      It's not browser caching, as it happens across browsers.

      It's not being cached by the PC, as it happens on the VMs I use for browser testing, and other PCs in the office.

      It's not being cached by our ISP, as it's visible on the BrowserStack VMs.

       

      It doesn't seem to affect all files.

       

      Any clues? It's annoying to have to change the fetch URL for every change I want to test.
