So, when working with Automatic, if we do not want IE to do it by itself within a few minutes, we are forced to manually click on Refersh of the browser in order to get the updated version of the stylesheet page. How can I achieve the same from WWC?

Ok, I solved that one.

Basically, even if the browser is set to check for a new version of the page at every call, there is still some bugs in IE that won't get it. Even if you force a refresh, the same problem can still occur after a few refreshes.

So, I found a way to fool the browser by renaming the stylesheet if a change is necessary. So, as we are ending up with a new page, the browser can't take it from its cache. That works at 100% so far. But, IMHO, browsers should always get the newer version of any page on a server if the date is more recent than what is in the cache. I never understood that practice by some browsers.
