Looks like I'm in luck.. The last-modified header will be in the next
Subversion release in a couple of weeks. Yeh!

http://subversion.tigris.org/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=971

And, thanks for the URLResourceManager patch. This has fixed the too many
GET requests problem!

However, if I am reading you correctly below there may still be a problem.
You are saying that when there is no last-modified header OXF assumes a
resource is uncacheable and issues a GET to reload it whenever necessary.
This matches up with the Apache logs which show the object being requested.
However changes I make to the source file still don't appear out the end of
the pipelines.

Is it possible there is something later in the web controller processor that
is still caching too aggressively? Even a ctrl-refresh on the page after an
hour doesn't display a change in model.xml that is visible if I request
model.xml directly from the same link with a browser. My pipeline is just
this.

<page path-info="/" model="oxf:/pipelines/homepage/model.xml"
view="oxf:/pipelines/homepage/format-homepage.xsl"/>

I can setup a simple example of the issue from an online subversion server
if that would help to reproduce the issue.

Regards,
Damon.
