Hi! I'm not sure this is the right list to post this question to, if anyone knows a more suitable one please let me know...
I have a problem. I want the browsers to cache my output yet always check the server for newer version of the response. The headers I use (output taken from http://www.w3.org/,headers ): 200 OK Server: Apache/1.3.29 (Unix) FrontPage/5.0.2.2623 mod_ssl/2.8.16 OpenSSL/0.9.7a mod_auth_pam/1.0a X-Powered-By: PHP/4.3.4 Expires: Sun, 04 Jan 2004 14:00:38 GMT Content-Type: text/html; charset=ISO-8859-2 Date: Sun, 04 Jan 2004 14:00:38 GMT Cache-Control: no-cache, must-revalidate, proxy-revalidate, max-age=0, s-maxage=0 Connection: close Last-Modified: Sun, 04 Jan 2004 14:00:38 GMT The Cache-Control headers are really sent in three lines (unless Apache joins them together?). Now: other browsers (Opera, Konqueror and Mozilla for Linux) obey and check the server for newer versions, yet they allow me to issue 304 response - the way it should be. But IE6 just doesn't cache the response. The weird thing is that it works as expected on my production server (over LAN), but not over Internet. Am I missing something? I tried "Cache-Control: private" too, but to no avail... I would be grateful for any answers, speculations, RTFMs,... Have fun! Anze
