Referring to  http://www.w3.org/Protocols/rfc2616/rfc2616-sec10.html
section 10.3.5 304 Not Modified

"If a 304 response indicates an entity not currently cached, then the cache 
MUST disregard the response and repeat the request without the conditional"

Reading the RFC, suggests that no matter what, if the image isn't in cache it 
should be requested.

Our deployment is an offsite image-cache, with 1Gb connection to internet.

With our hack, I tend to agree with the concerns of large files (wheter 
modified or not) being repeatedly requested from the backend should the cache 
server decide not to cache it due to CacheMaxFileSize or some other reason.

The sites that are reverse proxied don't have large image files and represent 
~95% of our traffic, the other remaining sites that may have large images are 
not proxied - the traffic goes over our 10Mb link, versus 1Gb at ISP.

In general, the hack works for us, but don't want to be maintaining the code 
on an on going basis.
 
Is there any work being done on this?

Thanks Alec
