In particular, CGIs cannot play with ETags, and neither can mod_include. >How-To-Repeat: >Fix: Break the ETag/precondition code out of set_last_modified into a separate set_etag() routine, and provide a default_etag() routine to generate the default etag currently generated in set_last_modified() >Audit-Trail: Category-Changed-From-To: general-apache-api Category-Changed-By: dgaudet Category-Changed-When: Thu Aug 14 14:56:23 PDT 1997 Comment-Added-By: brian Comment-Added-When: Thu Aug 21 12:05:25 PDT 1997 Comment-Added: just checking the gnats db... please hold, and your call will be answered in the order received.
