iOS Caching?

[Dan Friedman]

Mark,

Thank you for the suggestion!

> put decompress(url myFilePath & "?=" & the millisecs) into tMyData

This seems to resolve the problem.  Do you think there could be a problem in that the "cached" urls could get piled up?

Thanks!

Once I read a file from my server in my app, that's the only version of the file that I get.  For example, I read the file and I get the correct data.  I then change the data on the server.  I then read the data again on the iPad, and I get the original copy of the data!  The same thing happens even if I alter the data on the server from the iPad its self!
