Hello, I'd like to take advantage of Solr's HTTP caching feature (httpCaching never304="false" in solrconfig.xml).. It is behaving as expected when I do a standard query against a Solr instance and then repeat it: I receive an HTTP304 (not modified) response.
However, when using the "shards" functionality, I seem to be unable to get the HTTP304 functionality. When sending a request to a Solr instance that includes other Solr instances in the "shards" parameter, a GET request is sent to the original Solr instance, but it turns around and sends POST requests to the Solr instances referenced in "shards". Since POST requests cannot generate a 304, I seem to be unable to use HTTP caching with shards. Is there a way to make the original Solr instance query the shards with a GET method? Or some other way I can leverage HTTP caching when using shards? Thanks, Ty
