I've posted a patch in january to correct this problem. A copy is attached to this message. In the archive you'll find 3 '.diff' files. 'AlwaysUseETag.diff' is to patch an unmodified wwwoffle. 'AlwaysUseETag-Over404.diff' is to patch a version which has already been patched with Paul Rombouts "Preserve cache patch". And the third one is to patch you wwwoffle.conf file and add comments for the new option. -- Marc
