Hi,
I'm trying to utilize the browser's Webcache with php. I have a
timestamp of the time when my site has been changed and I'm trying to
send a "304 Not Modified" if the user already has my page in his
cache. I'm using the function described on this page [1] under "Use
PHP to force a conditional GET". I also added the headers
header("Cache-Control: public");
header("Expires: Thu, 15 Apr 2012 20:00:00 GMT");
header("Pragma: cache");
but the page gets reloaded every time. These are the headers from the
server:
Status-Code:200 OK
Cache-Control:public
Connection:Keep-Alive
Date:Wed, 10 Aug 2011 08:20:44 GMT
Etag:"b393df7221a36ce8e02e96c7df308a16"
Expires:Thu, 15 Apr 2012 20:00:00 GMT
Keep-Alive:timeout=15, max=99
Last-Modified:Wed, 10 Aug 2011 07:50:04 GMT
Pragma:cache
I really can't figure out what the problem is.
Greetings from Germany

First of all, I don't see a 304 in your headers. But the bottom line is
you can't force a 304 - it's up to the browser to make a conditional
request (HTTP_IF_MODIFIED_SINCE).
But then it's generally not necessary to do it in PHP anyway - the web
server will handle it.

Hi Jerry,
look at the link I posted (only the section "Use
>> PHP to force a conditional GET") — I'm sending a 304 header. Anyway, the browser says it get's a status-code 200. That's what I don't get. The point why I'm sending those headers manually is because in this particular case I'm generating an image and redirect to it (with a location-header). But if the User already has that image in it's cache, I just wanna send a 304, so that there's no redirect and thus less requests.

Hi, Luke,
Yes, I already looked at the link before I replied previously. My
comments haven't changed.
