My first thought was that Firefox has an issue. Then I installed 2.0.53 as a cache-proxy BUT I couldn't reproduce the above, Google logo loads everytime. Another simple page I tried is news.com.au/wireless. Steps 1 -3 are same 4. refresh page -> no css applied (liveheaders shows 200 OK), logo appears broken (liveheaders show 206 Partial Response) 5. delete temp int. files in IE6 6. enter www.news.com.au/wireless in browser bar -> logo loads fine but no css applied 7. hit refresh button -> page loads fine with css & logo As before, I couldn't reproduce this with 2.0.53
Can you try reproduce this behaviour with 2.1.3 ??
My hunch is that you are being hit by mod_proxy brokenness not mod_cache issues. 2.0.53 uses the 'stable' mod_proxy, while 2.1.3 has a rewritten mod_proxy - which still has significant issues. For the most part, 2.0.53's mod_disk_cache (i.e. from SVN 2.0.x branch) is mostly equivalent to 2.1.3's mod_disk_cache. So, if it works with 2.0.53 from SVN and doesn't work with 2.1.3 from SVN, then I think mod_proxy is a more likely culprit.
I know that there were some fixes recently made to mod_proxy that might help. So, what revision of 2.1.3 are you trying?
I know that Mladen fixed some race conditions, and I know Sander and I have been making some recent commits in the last week to fix other brokenness. And, there's still stuff that we know just doesn't work: i.e. 'ProxyPass /foo/bar !'. So, I don't think I can recommend 2.1.3 for proxy functionality as it needs a lot more care and feeding before it is usable.

Im not sure where to find out the revision, but I checked out the src from cvs just before my first post. I just did another update and nothing has changed. Hope Im using the right command:
cvs checkout -d httpd-2.1 httpd-2.0
I guess I'll have to wait for mod_proxy to mature bit more. Compliments to the developers, it works great with the new mod_filter which has some really cool potential
Thanks again Dean
