Well, the "Last-Modified" header seem to be working (I have a JSP that

What is the "Etag" header? how can and tell if it is working? why would 
it not be working?

It the ETag doesn't change when the resource changes, it's broken. 
That's why I was suggesting to trace the traffic.

Hi,
There seems to be a problem with Office caching files from slide.
If I edit a file on one computer it seems to open it as it was the last 
time it was saved on that same computer even if it has been edited on 
another computer in the meantime.  So, if I edit a Word file on computer 
A, save it, and close Word; then edit it on computer B, save it, and 
close word; then open it again on A: it is in the same state as when I 
saved it on A, and the changes from B are not seen.

Any ideas as to how to prevent this?  Is there a way to set the nocache 
header in the response for files returned by Slide?
You don't want it to be not cacheable. What you want are working "Etag" 
and "Last-Modified" headers. Maybe there's something wrong with those.

Trace it...
