Exactly my thoughts as well. If the Vary header were in the response, then mod_cache would act accordingly. Without that header, every HTTP cache in between the client and the server would operate identically to mod_cache as a quick_handler. So, this doesn't actually fix the problem if mod_rewrite is lame. In short, this patch doesn't fix anything and only hides the underlying cause. -- justin
