http://issues.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=39647 ------- Additional Comments From [EMAIL PROTECTED] 2007-02-09 21:36 ------- 10.3.5 says: [[[ If the conditional GET used a strong cache validator (see section 13.3.3), the response SHOULD NOT include other entity-headers. Otherwise (i.e., the conditional GET used a weak validator), the response MUST NOT include other entity-headers; this prevents inconsistencies between cached entity-bodies and updated headers. ]]] That applies to the responses; it doesn't specify the behaviour of the cache when it receives such responses. 10.3.5 goes on to say [[[ If a cache uses a received 304 response to update a cache entry, the cache MUST update the entry to reflect any new field values given in the response. ]]] However, your reading does make sense. Rather than try and second-guess an apparent inconsistency in the spec, I"ll follow up with the HTTP-WG list. -- Configure bugmail: http://issues.apache.org/bugzilla/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are the assignee for the bug, or are watching the assignee. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
