http://issues.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=14048 [EMAIL PROTECTED] changed: What |Removed |Added ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Status|CLOSED |REOPENED Resolution|FIXED | ------- Additional Comments From [EMAIL PROTECTED] 2005-11-14 11:36 ------- This patch is giving some problems. The Vary header (as stated on http://www.w3.org/Protocols/rfc2616/rfc2616-sec14.html#sec14.44 ) is not used to tell a browser not to cache a file, this happens with Microsoft explorer just because Microsoft decided not to fully implement this header in their cache control, and took the short path "don't cache if this header is there" (look http://lists.over.net/pipermail/mod_gzip/2002-December/006826.html for a nice overview) This was good as long as the HTTP/1.1 specs were quite new and Firefox was not there. Firefox has a different approach, caches the file, and many proxies as well, so using the Vary header is now Microsoft ie specific and based on a Microsoft ie bug. IMMO the common headers should be used (Expires, Last-modified, Pragma etc.. etc..) not to be Microsoft specific and to be HTTP/1.1 compliant. I can produce the patch if needed. -- 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.
