Sorry for my perseveration on the topic. I'm using a /uv index page for my repositories. After login, the index page is not expired, and I can only see the Admin entry from the top navigation bar until after a "hard" reload with Ctrl+F5.
So I tried to to generate a "login-time-sensitive" ETag. This worked well with the "cexpire" field from the "user" table (which is actually the login time, shifted to the future by one unit of the "cookie-expire" setting). But as there's serial cache expiration checks, an ETag cache miss is immediately caught by a Last-Modified cache hit (no matter whether or not the Fossil executable mtime is used to limit the age of the Last-Modified date). I'm not sure if this can be solved to work well for both web UI pages (ETag preferred) and "static" files downloaded via scripts (Last-Modified preferred). One possible solution may be to include the "cexpire" field in ETag calculation, drop the If-Modified-Since handler, but still return a Last-Modified date. Like this, wget and simple scripts can still do their own If-Modified-Since cache checks based on HTTP HEAD requests, and use the returned Last-Modified date to adjust file time stamps. Given that the time stamps of unversioned files can be changed arbitrarily, and may not be 100% accurate anyway, this could make a good compromise. --Florian _______________________________________________ fossil-users mailing list fossil-users@lists.fossil-scm.org http://lists.fossil-scm.org:8080/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/fossil-users
