Someone looked it via SQUID proxy which cached the / dir. Then we created virtual web on the same IP. The same person looked again but it have seen the same old page. When I traced it using sniffit I found that SQUID sends request with If-Modified-Since header with date 11/8 and length=1945. New index.html was older but has DIFFERENT LENGTH. It seems the Apache tests ONLY date and when file-date is older it doesn't check file length too. It's not too serious bug, but probably it can make some headaches .. >How-To-Repeat: see above >Fix: Yep. Test for file length difference before sending 304 response .. >Audit-Trail: >Unformatted: [In order for any reply to be added to the PR database, you need] [to include <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> in the Cc line and make sure the] [subject line starts with the report component and number, with ] [or without any 'Re:' prefixes (such as "general/1098:" or ] ["Re: general/1098:").
