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.

Git commit e1eb60c51fbb6be5e1d65d7408b50b9e2883038c by Dawit Alemayehu.

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.
