[FIXED] Http server showing the same page after refreshing?

Issue

I have a piece of code I am using for testing on http servers. What I did first was to set up my http server in python and type it in my web browser, listening on port8000. However when i delete theindex.htmland stopped thepython` script and hit refresh on my webbrowser, it still shows the same page! I am currently using Firefox developer edition by the way.

I have tried replacing the index.html with another different website index.html for testing, but it wasnt showing the new website.

import http.server
import socketserver

PORT = 8000

Handler = http.server.SimpleHTTPRequestHandler

with socketserver.TCPServer(("", PORT), Handler) as httpd:
    print("serving at port", PORT)
    httpd.serve_forever()

I expect the web browser to stop showing index.html after closing the python script. Please help to fix my code so that it stops showing the same index.html

Solution

Your issue is with the caching! Try hitting ctrl+f5 in your browser to see if it works.
