Hi guys, I'm having trouble understanding the behavior of firefox and the etag. After cleaning the cache, I send this request from firefox: GET /solr/select/?q=television HTTP/1.1 Host: localhost:8088 User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.9.0.6) Gecko/2009011913 Firefox/3.0.6 (.NET CLR 3.5.30729) Accept: text/html,application/xhtml+xml,application/xml;q=0.9,*/*;q=0.8 Accept-Language: en-us,en;q=0.5 Accept-Encoding: gzip,deflate Accept-Charset: ISO-8859-1,utf-8;q=0.7,*;q=0.7 Keep-Alive: 300 Connection: keep-alive Cookie: JSESSIONID=AA71D602A701BB6287C60083DD6879CD Which solr responds with: HTTP/1.1 200 OK Last-Modified: Thu, 19 Feb 2009 19:57:14 GMT ETag: "NmViOTJkMjc1ODgwMDAwMFNvbHI=" Content-Type: text/xml; charset=utf-8 Transfer-Encoding: chunked Server: Jetty(6.1.3) (#data following#) So far so good. But then, I press F5 to refresh the page. Now if I understand correctly the way the etag works, firefox should send the request with a "if-none-match" along with the etag and then the server should return a 304 "not modified" code. But what happens is that firefox just don't send anything. In the firebug window, I only see "0 requests". Just to make sure I test with tcpmon and nothing is sent by firefox. Is this making sense? Am I missing something? My solrconfig.xml has this config:
