Nicholas Oxhøj updated RF-13294:
--------------------------------
Description:
There seems to be a problem with the caching headers sent by RichFaces in
relation to IE (IE8 at least which is the one I have tested).
The default for RichFaces, is to tell the browser to cache static resources for
24 hours:
{code}
HTTP/1.1 200 OK
Server: Apache-Coyote/1.1
Cache-control: max-age=86400
Last-Modified: Tue, 29 Oct 2013 13:01:56 GMT
Expires: Wed, 30 Oct 2013 13:02:39 GMT
Content-Type: text/javascript
Content-Length: 117992
Date: Tue, 29 Oct 2013 13:02:39 GMT
{code}
But it seems that when IE, after 24 hours, validates the file with a
"If-Modified-Since" and receives a "304 Not Modified" response
{code}
HTTP/1.1 304 Not Modified
Server: Apache-Coyote/1.1
Date: Tue, 29 Oct 2013 13:07:56 GMT
{code}
it will *keep* re-validating the file on all subsequent pages/uses, whereas
e.g. FireFox _seems_ to reapply the "max-age" of 24 hours, that it was told on
the initial GET of the file.
I haven't been able to find any specifications, blog posts or anything else
related to how the browser should react _after_ having received a "304 Not
Modified" response.
But it seems that if you add a "Cache-control: max-age=..." header to the "304
Not Modified" response in InternetResourceService#serviceResource(), IE will
not re-validate the file until that max-age has expired.
{code}
HTTP/1.1 304 Not Modified
Server: Apache-Coyote/1.1
Cache-control: max-age=86400
Date: Tue, 29 Oct 2013 13:07:56 GMT
