Thomas Peuss commented on SOLR-127:
-----------------------------------
What do you expect as default behaviour of this patch?
* Emit no cache related headers at all
* Emit conservative cache related headers
** for example _max-age=0, must-revalidate_ - this should work with every not
completely broken cache implementation without breaking anything (besides
pushing performance because you offload the Solr-server)
* Emit more "cachy" headers
** for example _max-age=600_
> Make Solr more friendly to external HTTP caches

> an offhand comment I saw recently reminded me of something that really bugged
> me about the serach solution i used *before* Solr -- it didn't play nicely
> with HTTP caches that might be sitting in front of it.
> at the moment, Solr doesn't put in particularly usefull info in the HTTP
> Response headers to aid in caching (ie: Last-Modified), responds to all HEAD
> requests with a 400, and doesn't do anything special with If-Modified-Since.
> t the very least, we can set a Last-Modified based on when the current
> IndexReder was open (if not the Date on the IndexReader) and use the same
> info to determing how to respond to If-Modified-Since requests.
> (for the record, i think the reason this hasn't occured to me in the 2+ years
> i've been using Solr, is because with the internal caching, i've yet to need
> to put a proxy cache in front of Solr)
