Cannot get rid of cached file no matter what

Reported by david.kr...@gmail.com, Jul 27 2016

Issue description

UserAgent: Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; Intel Mac OS X 10_11_6) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/52.0.2743.82 Safari/537.36

Steps to reproduce the problem:
1. Website doesn't work because Chrome (in developer tools) sees the old version of javascript file... I tried EVERYTHING, disabling cache, clearing cache etc, nothing helps... and when I visit that file directly I see the new version

WEIRD and frustrating :) 
2. 
3. 

What is the expected behavior?
it should (eventually) or IMMEDIATELY (shift+refresh) get the fresh file...

What went wrong?
File stuck inside Chrome cache, I'm not even sure new one will appear if I wait for 10 years.

Did this work before? N/A 

Chrome version: 52.0.2743.82  Channel: stable
OS Version: OS X 10.11.6
Flash Version: Shockwave Flash 22.0 r0

arrrrghh
 
and the same site works in Incognito because it has the new file!!
I could fix this ONLY by going into DEV mode on CloudFlare

I did purge the cache on cloudflare before, didn't help..

this really is some problem in Chrome because as I said curl and also chrome itself showed the new version when going to example.com/js/script.js directly... just Dev Tools (and rendering engine itself) always saw the old file... 

Not sure how to go about investigating this...

I noticed script tag had data-rocketoptimized attribute, then remembered cloudflare (Rocket loader is from them), and decided to enable dev mode there.. this FINALLY helped...

This is almost certainly not a Chrome issue.  I can just say that from having seen a bunch of issues claiming that the cache was storing/not storing things incorrectly, and after a deep dive, they're pretty much always either broken sites, or people not understanding expected caching behavior.

That having been said, if you provide log, following the instructions here, we can take a look:  https://sites.google.com/a/chromium.org/dev/for-testers/providing-network-details

Just so we can see the initial response from the server, please clear your cache (Either using the little down arrow at the upper right in about:net-internals, or from the settings page).
