Forum OpenACS Q&A: Response to Images getting lost with ns_returnfile on Win

David:

I'm sorry, this is not yet a site connected to the Internet.

But I used Ethereal to view the page headers sent between the client and AOLserver.

It seems like Opera and IE both send "If-Modified-Since" Keys and AOLserver responds happily with "304 Not Modified" but only Opera renders the images then.
Maybe this path is worth investigating on.

I first thought the problem is related with a "max-age" key (of 3600 seconds) I'm returning in the header with the file as AOLserver itself returns also a "Last-Modified-Since" and maybe the two keys conflict (Unexcusable non-reading of Cache/Proxy Documentation on my part...). Strange thing.

Do you know where to start/tweak configs to FORCE the server to never respond with a L-M-S key? I'll try to overwrite this in my script now but I'll guess it happens somewhere else.
