How do I force an ASP web application to refresh itself?

Question

I've made some changes to a query that an ASP page uses, and now I need to see if those changes did what I expect. But, the dumb app won't refresh itself, and I don't know how to force it. I cleared my browser history (IE 8). What else is there?

I'm pretty sure it is classic ASP, not something from this millenia like ASP.Net

It could be output caching done by your server. I'm not aware of a specific mechanism for this with classic asp, but I know asp.net has the ability built in and there are things you can do with IIS itself to make this work.

To get around it, change the url in a harmless way, for example by adding a query parameter not used in your page.
