Installer badge incorrect on installer page

Hi,

Probably a known issue but just in case it's not. The installer badge is still showing 4.8 not 4.9 on the installer page. It downloads 1.0.9 not 2.0.2.

http://flex.apache.org/installer.html

Thanks,
Justin

BTW a shift reload fixed it - no need to clear the entire browser cache.

Yes, modifying the .htaccess to look something like this would work:

<files installerbadge/index.html>
    Header set Cache-Control "max-age=3600"
</files>

Can someone familiar with this setup confirm that this would work?

Thanks,
Om

Sure but we don't want people going to that page and seeing and downloading the wrong version of the installer. Not everyone will know to clear out their cache/do a shift refresh. Is there another way we can stop this from happening? Can we modify the expires headers?

This approach will not update the existing badges that people have embedded
on their sites/blogs etc.  One of the goals of this approach was to keep
updating the same badge so people always publicize our latest releases.

Perhaps change the installer path to include the version number? eg ./installerbadge/index2.0.2.html That way there should be less caching issues?

I just looked, it is pointing to 4.9 and downloads 2.0.2.  I think you
should clear your browser cache and try again.
