Hi Jacqui, Thanks for the response,
Initially I suspected the issue could have been related to client type, however I was able to create a broken item in the cache by running the following command from a remote server. - wget -S --no-cache http://sitename/mypdf.pdf?<random number>' and then kept changing the random number until I received HTTP 416 (Requested range not satisfiable) On getting the 416 response, the item would remain in the cache smaller than expected size when attempting to view via browser, response is 'the file is damaged and could not be repaired'. Being I was testing against the live site, it is possible someone had send a bytes range request during my testing with wget, and then Maybe Apache stored the bytes range as the entire item. I'll continue testing and let you know how I get on, if I don't get a resolve soon, I will try rolling back to Apache 1.3 to rule out mod_cache as being the culprit. Thanks again, Mark.

IIRC mod_proxy does the correct thing (requests the byterange it does not have and put chunks together then serves the requested range). PDFs were designed so that the TOC is at the head of the document. If you find that you are only storing the first NNNN bytes and then only sporadic contiguous chunks I would assume byterange requests are the problem and hand code a number of test requests to confirm it.
