How do we do a hard reload/refresh in Chrome using Javascript?

window.location.reload(true);
location.reload(true);

didn't do it for me.

===========================

What I meant by 'didn't do it for me...'

The session cookies (ex. JSESSIONID) were not renewed specially the HttpOnly ones.

What I want to achieve...'

1. I wanted to reload the page like it's the first time I accessed the URL.
2. I wanted to simulate the steps below (which is like accessing the URL for the first time)

   - Open browser
   - Type URL
   - Hit Enter

I wonder if there is a more powerful Javascript command that reloads as if it is the first time.

location.reload() should work. Works for me!

Can you share the rest of your code?

The best (and practically only) way to ensure a page is hard reloaded is by using your server. One of the ways you can do this is by serving headers, when a page is requested, that invalidate resources such as Cache-Control which will tell the browser to not cache resources and always revalidate resources which means everything must be redownloaded each time.

I would not recommend serving this header on every request in your production application, though.

Cache-Control: no-cache, must-revalidate
