I have a web page which consists of a few component pages. When a user requests the page, the server assembles its component pages into the main page and sends it back to the browser.

When there is an update on the component page, IE6 browser cannot see the updated content. However, IE7 and Firefox are fine.

Checking with Fiddler, the http response returns 200, If-Modified-Since header is the same as the last modified date of the main page, the response raw html also has the updated content.

It seems that IE6 browser abandons the rendering of the page because If-Modified-Since is the same as the last modified date of the main page.

Does anyone know how to overcome this issue in IE6?
