I thought I experienced cases where WebKit was re-requesting
resources when it should have been caching them, so I made a small
test:
http://arc.mcc.id.au/temp/2008/cache-test
It’s a script that outputs a header:
Last-Modified: Sat, 1 Jan 2000 00:00:00 GMT
that also outputs the time at which the script runs. After loading
the page the first time, I would expect that clicking on the link
would request the page with an If-Modified-Since header, and for the
cached page to be shown. This doesn’t happen, though; the page is
re-requested and the time shown updates.
Is this a bug? Or is there a way I can tell WebKit to cache as I
expect it?
Caching of web pages loaded from HTTP is not done by WebKit, but
rather by whatever underlying I/O library each platform's port of
WebKit calls.
This may well be a bug, but if it is a bug, it's in the HTTP
implementation on the platform you were testing WebKit on, not in
WebKit.
If it was on Mac OS X, I'd encourage you to write a bug at <http://bugreport.apple.com
