Hi,
I've seen a behaviour that i think it's not compliant with rfc2616:
client ask for image1.gif,
server send as response a 302 redirect (moved temporarily) to image2.gif,
client ask for image2.gif,
server send as response a 304 (Not Modified),
client load image1.gif from cache where was previously stored.

Should not client load image2.gif instead of image1.gif?

Sorry, but i've not a public example.

Please test it with a current release like 1.7.3 or a current 1.8a5 build.

probably a duplicate of bug 89419.. adding as depends on at least

Comment 3

[Hugh Kennedy]

confirming.

seeing this behavior in 
Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.7.5) Gecko/20041217
under similar circumstances (this time with a commercial website)

agreed, it probably is a dup of bug 89419.

Since Darin commented, a number of very similar bugs have been duped to bug
89419.  Resolving as dupe.
