That is really ugly and makes serveFile almost pointless I'm afraid. The point of the If-Modified-Since header is for the UA to check if the requested resource has been modified since its last retrieval. That avoids wasting bandwith and using your server for processing each time the same resource over and over. Your workaround is therefore a bad one. - Sylvain --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "TurboGears" group.
