Hi All,
I’m new to realising that browsers especially new ones are now caching 301 redirection and knowing how things go, changes of mind, moving files about, I’m not happy about using a 301 for redirection as I’m scared it will cache and I loose control of the url if I need to change it, now I always thought it the right way to 301 redirect pages and directories when renaming and such as it passes the juice to Search engines. I figure 302 is not the right way to go unless a vanity url for a changing landing page or something you know for sure will change. This being the case any ideas how to set cache control on the 301 to not cache? I normally do my 301’s in htaccess like so (example of directory name changes/redirect):
redirect 301 /pages/yellowpages http://www.mydomainname.com/pages/redpages
redirect 301 /pages/pinkpages http://www.mydomainname.com/pages/whitepages
Any ideas how I can add cache control to stop browsers caching my 301 so it always checks my htaccess for changes?
Any help will be massivly appreciated.
Thanks
