Webview Web-Cache refresh issue in BasicUI

Setup, Configuration and Use Items & Sitemaps

hi, I do have a problem with web caching in basic UI, both with the browser version or in the app. I use a webpage with a photo gallery for motion detection pictures in a webview. This gallery is auto generated in a rule with a timer. The problem is that basic UI always shows a cached version of the html gallery, not the latest. I need to empty the browser cache to force a reload, in the app even this doe not work for me. I tried playing with metadata tags in the html header. The only thing that seems to work is either renaming the webpage and reload the Sitemap or adding a fake „?v=1.1“ or alike to the Weblink and reload the Sitemap. Also renaming the css of my gallery does not work. Any idea how to make basicUI reload a page in webview (there is no refresh or something?). Thanks !

Hi, I found a way with the help of copilot, using a php script served php on the RP using nginx on https and displaying it as a webview in BasicUI. If people are interested, I could post a summary here, but not a simple thing to do without copilot.
