Update changes not working about preact-starter HOT 4 CLOSED

In case someone has the same issue I had here what I've done :

So far I was using Heroku, I struggled a bit to handle this cache-control I figured out you can add a no cache param to serve(check there). I was not really satisfied. So I look for others possibilities, I came across Firebase where you can actually very easily doing this headers configuration through a firebase.json file, it works like a charm now.

Hey Alex, thanks!

This is because your Heroku server is caching the service-worker.js file, which is the main gotcha for Service Workers.

You have to turn off caching for the SW file specifically, as this is the only way that the SW can discern if there's a newer version of itself.

If cached, the following /service-worker.js requests, will all return the same content with the same versioning info (and the same assets cache definition), which tells the registered SW that there is not anything new to worry about, so nothing changes.

Hope that helps!

Thank you very much for your help on it, @lukeed !

From my understanding I need to specify something like cache-control:private, max-age=0, no-cache in my sw header.

Yeah, I forget you can't specify headers with serve -- maybe I'll look into PR'ing that. Most static-servers will let you configure headers, like Firebase hosting.

Thanks for following up~!
