Description Dmitry Ivanov 2005-05-01 13:06:55 UTC 
Version:           3.4.0 (using KDE KDE 3.4.0)
Installed from:    Slackware Packages
OS:                Linux

Konqueror ignores cache-control: max-age in "Keep cache in sync" mode. When HTTP server provides "cache-control: max-age=60" header, client should not request document earlier than 60 sec. unless page reload requested (F5). Konqueror requests document every time I visit page.

For example, Links and Firefox behave correctly requesting document only once in 60 sec.

I'm seeing this too. And it seems this reflects in Webkit/Safari as well.

I'm using this web page for testing purposes

http://thetests.altervista.org/max-age10.php

Sorry it's in Italian.
Just repeatedly click on the link: the timestamp should not be updated and the page should be fetched from the cache.

Pushed by adawit into branch 'master'.

When cache mode is CC_Refresh (the default), ensure the expiration date of a cache is
consulated whenever a conditional GET cannot be performed.

Besides fixing bug# 104901, this improves performance by reducing unnecessary fetches
when caching is enabled.
