393824 - no-cache pages on hicksdesign.co.uk require force-reload to see changes

Status: RESOLVED WORKSFORME

(Camino Graveyard :: General, defect)

Description

STR:

1. Visit hicksdesign and read the comments on any journal item; remember how many comments there were.
2. Come back to the same journal item page tomorrow and wonder why no one else has commented.
3. Shift-reload and watch the comments appear!

I think I've also repro'd this by leaving a comment and coming back to the page, but I don't often have something to say.  I do see this every time Hicks writes a new post, which is about fortnightly, but I keep forgetting to file this.

Comment 1

[philippe (part-time)]

I suspect Textpattern is partly to blame here (as I know, it does set headers).
When looking at it with LiveHttpHeaders on Minefield latest, I see lots of contradictory info/headers

first load: HTTP/1.x 200 OK
an hour later (from History): HTTP/1.x 304 Not Modified
but the page _was_ modified

Over the 2 hours I tested this, I needed once to force reload to see changes, and twice a reload was sufficient (both Camino trunk and Minefield suffered from this).

And sorry to Mr Hicks for the abuse of bandwidth.

(and I can't reproduce this with my local install of Texpattern. I use the latest SVN rev, though, and possibly different settings).

This sounds like a site bug, then, and not a Camino one, if I'm understanding philippe correctly?

I'm not seeing this this week, so WFM (though it might have been INVALID).
