Fuad Efendi commented on SOLR-127:
----------------------------------

Thomas, Walter,

Finally I agree, thanks!

Middleware should not send/reroute "If-Modified-Since", and should not 
implement internal cache (in provided by me "contr"-sample): with caching 
enabled, it will simply retrieve cached content.

I do not agree with 400, it is place for DoS attacks. "Query parsing error" 
should be 200 with caching response codes. Of course, I know RFC 2616.

> at the moment, Solr doesn't put in particularly usefull info in the HTTP 
> Response headers to aid in caching (ie: Last-Modified), responds to all HEAD 
> requests with a 400, and doesn't do anything special with If-Modified-Since.
> t the very least, we can set a Last-Modified based on when the current 
> IndexReder was open (if not the Date on the IndexReader) and use the same 
> info to determing how to respond to If-Modified-Since requests.
> (for the record, i think the reason this hasn't occured to me in the 2+ years 
> i've been using Solr, is because with the internal caching, i've yet to need 
> to put a proxy cache in front of Solr)
