Synopsis: Pages using 'virtual includes' do not update with normal refresh State-Changed-From-To: open-closed State-Changed-By: dgaudet State-Changed-When: Mon Apr 28 11:47:14 PDT 1997 State-Changed-Why: This is the expected behaviour of XBitHack Full, and in the docs we note that it allows the browsers to cache the file based on the date of the .html file itself. You are telling the server that the #includes within the file do not affect the "last modified date" of the file... which is clearly wrong in your case. It sounds like you shouldn't be using XBitHack.
If you look at your access_log after a reload you should see a 304. That indicates that the client asked "has it changed since ..." and the server said No. shift-reload bypasses this cache validating step. Thanks for using Apache! Dean
