Henrik,

When reading a document from the cache, the metadata doesn't make it
to the response object, because it's being erased here:

HTCache.c:meta_read ()

........
 
	    /* Send the data down the pipe */
	    status = (*target->isa->put_block)(target, buffer, status);

	    /* Delete the response headers */ 
	    HTRequest_setResponse(request, NULL);


Later on, just before calling the after handlers, a new response object
gets allocated thru a simple call to HTRequest_response. However, this
object is empty and it's the one that's being sent to the after handlers
(including my terminate_handler).

Is there any reason why the response header is being erased? 

I do need to know the content type in my terminate_handler, but I don't
want to pull it from the anchor object (where I can find it), unless it's
necessary.

Thanks,

-Jose
