Nobody else has access to that cache, so "public" can't mean anything. > Public Cache (SHARED) > Don't cache it (conflicting cache-control) > However on the other had, the server did send s-maxage=120, > so it's caring for public caches..... Maybe. Or maybe s-maxage crept in because of some memory trashing on the server side. Once you see that the server is buggy, you can't be sure what it wants. (Reminds me of a line from a Pratchett book: "Why is he *doing* this?" "That is only a valid question if he is sane. He may be doing it because the little green pixies tell him to." :-) -- /==============================================================\ |John Stracke | http://www.ecal.com |My opinions are my own.| |Chief Scientist |=============================================| |eCal Corp. |Help stamp out vi in our lifetime! | |francis@ecal.com| | \==============================================================/
