If another filter modifies the content it should be removing the C-L from the request. The core shouldn't be removing the C-L for us. The problem is that the C-L filter will only insert the C-L if it has all of the data. If the proxy removes the C-L, then there is one less piece of information for the next cache to use when trying to determine if the data has changed. IMHO, the proxy should be conservative and assume that the data hasn't changed unless it is told that the data has changed. Ryan
