Hi all, I'm using mod_mem_cache to cache iso files provided by tomcat backend server (using mod_http_proxy). During the first client download, the iso file is stored into this cache. If this client stops prematurely the download, the cache contains an incomplete part of this iso file. Consequently, for all other requests from all clients, the iso file will be wrong. Of course, we have the same behavior for any kind of content (jpeg, html, ...). This bug has already been defined partially into the 32735 and 15866 bug reports, but I would like to complete it. We have two cases : - The backend server doesn't send a complete response. For me, this case is covered by the 15866 bug report. I agree that we should be compliant with RFC 2616 and so treat response as partial. - The first client, filling the cache, stops prematurely the download. In such case, the mod_mem_cache must discard the body response. I've performed same tests using the mod_disk_cache. This one discards the body if the connection has been aborted. "disk_cache: Discarding body for URL http://... because connection has been aborted." My feeling is that we should have the same behavior for mem and disk cache modules. The mem module is not usable because the integrity of cache content should not depend of the client. Fred PS : I'm doing my tests on Apache 2.2.8 on Linux. --------------------------------------------------------------------- The official User-To-User support forum of the Apache HTTP Server Project.
