Description
Summary - conditional requests using If-None-Match "eTag" don't match content that does not also have a Last-Modified header.
Expected behavior:
Content cache stores content with etag.
Requests with ‘if-none-match’ should honor that etag
Observed behaviour:
Requests only honor that etag if the response /also/ contains a ‘last-modified’ header
Test case: Architecture: http proxy with cache -> fastcgi proxy -> php script
Test 1 – provide a last-modified header – works as expected:
<?php
header("Cache-Control: max-age=600" );
header("ETag: foo");
header("Last-Modified: Sat, 02 Nov 2013 14:53:29 GMT");
print time()."\n";
?>
Prime the empty cache:
# curl -D - http://localhost:8001/time.php
HTTP/1.1 200 OK
Server: nginx/1.5.12
Date: Sun, 04 May 2014 23:31:55 GMT
Content-Type: text/html
Transfer-Encoding: chunked
Connection: keep-alive
X-Powered-By: PHP/5.3.10-1ubuntu3.11
Cache-Control: max-age=600
ETag: foo
Last-Modified: Sat, 02 Nov 2013 14:53:29 GMT
X-Cache-Status: MISS
1399246315
Request the content with if-none-match - works as expected:
# curl -D - -H "If-None-Match: foo" http://localhost:8001/time.php
HTTP/1.1 304 Not Modified
Server: nginx/1.5.12
Date: Sun, 04 May 2014 23:32:09 GMT
Connection: keep-alive
X-Powered-By: PHP/5.3.10-1ubuntu3.11
Cache-Control: max-age=600
ETag: foo
Last-Modified: Sat, 02 Nov 2013 14:53:29 GMT
X-Cache-Status: HIT
Test 2 – omit last-modified – the if-none-match does not apply:
<?php
header( "Cache-Control: max-age=600" );
header("ETag: foo");
#header("Last-Modified: Sat, 02 Nov 2013 14:53:29 GMT");
print time()."\n";
?>
Prime the empty cache:
# curl -D - http://localhost:8001/time.php
HTTP/1.1 200 OK
Server: nginx/1.5.12
Date: Sun, 04 May 2014 23:32:42 GMT
Content-Type: text/html

X-Powered-By: PHP/5.3.10-1ubuntu3.11
Cache-Control: max-age=600
ETag: foo
X-Cache-Status: MISS

Request the content with if-none-match - we get a 200, not a 304:
# curl -D - -H "If-None-Match: foo" http://localhost:8001/time.php
HTTP/1.1 200 OK
Server: nginx/1.5.12

Cache-Control: max-age=600
ETag: foo
