Hi! Caching seems complex and I am fairly new to it.
I found out that T5 delivers a 304 for assets that have not been modified since they where fetched. I.e. there is one server request per asset. [When serving an asset T5 delivers a last modified header. And clients sends If-Modified-Since when asking for an asset.] My question is, if my findings are correct. Would it be possible to tell clients to cache assets for ever and use the version to force a reload. I.e. the way I thought it worked ... /Gunnar 2012/2/28 Steve Eynon <steve.ey...@alienfactory.co.uk> > Hi, > > I'm sure if you're asking about what T5 serves up, or how the client > interprets what it is served? > > Ultimately you have no control over what the client does - if the > client wants to make a request, it'll make a request.
