>Number: 1010 >Category: mod_mime >Synopsis: AddType's interaction with browser caches can be confusing >Confidential: no >Severity: non-critical >Priority: medium >Responsible: apache (Apache HTTP Project) >State: open >Class: doc-bug >Submitter-Id: apache >Arrival-Date: Mon Aug 18 15:20:01 1997 >Originator: [EMAIL PROTECTED] >Organization: apache >Release: 1.2 >Environment: Solaris >Description: If you use AddType to change the mime type associated with a file and verify the change in your browser, the browser will not pick up the new mime type even if it's restarted, because the last-modified date hasn't changed on the file. It's necessary to touch the file or flush your browser cache to see the change. This can be very confusing. >How-To-Repeat:
>Fix: Add a warning to the mod_mime docs. Or, Apache could keep a history of when each extension's mime type was changed and send a last-modified date of at least that time for files with that extension. But that's probably more trouble than it's worth. %0 >Audit-Trail: >Unformatted:
