Package: apache2-common Version: 2.0.53-4 Severity: important Apache is occasionally returning 304 responses to standard HTTP requests. As I understand it, a 304 should only be returned in response to a conditional GET. However, I am seeing it in response to normal GETs. For example, I ran the following test:
telnet example.com 80 GET /test.css HTTP/1.0 To my surprise this returned a 304! I have been trying to gather more information, with relative unsuccess. But here are some of the trends that I think might be occuring: - this happens most often on css pages (although I think I remmber seeing it on other pages) - lately it only happens when mem_cache is enabled, although I thought at one point I experienced it with mem_cache disabled I know that this is not a lot of data to go on, but I have experienced this problem numerous times, and have not yet been able to narrow the cause down more precisely. I will try to take more careful notes in the future. I would be glad to work with anyone who had some suggestions on debuggin this. thanks, Charles -- System Information: Debian Release: 3.1 APT prefers testing APT policy: (90, 'testing'), (80, 'unstable') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 2.4.26-1um Locale: LANG=en_US, LC_CTYPE=en_US (charmap=ISO-8859-1) Versions of packages apache2-common depends on: ii apache2-utils 2.0.53-4 utility programs for webservers ii debconf 1.4.30.11 Debian configuration management sy ii debianutils 2.8.4 Miscellaneous utilities specific t ii libc6 2.3.2.ds1-20 GNU C Library: Shared libraries an ii libdb4.2 4.2.52-18 Berkeley v4.2 Database Libraries [ ii libexpat1 1.95.8-1 XML parsing C library - runtime li ii libgcc1 1:3.4.3-6 GCC support library ii libmagic1 4.12-1 File type determination library us ii mime-support 3.28-1 MIME files 'mime.types' & 'mailcap ii net-tools 1.60-10 The NET-3 networking toolkit ii openssl 0.9.7e-2 Secure Socket Layer (SSL) binary a ii ssl-cert 1.0-11 Simple debconf wrapper for openssl -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
