Does the http packets need to have some explicit cache header to make it be cached? I'm using a very simple python http server (http://fragments.turtlemeat.com/pythonwebserver.php), and Wireshark showed that the captured http packets it sent out do not have well organized http header. Is this the problem? Thanks, Henry On Tue, Apr 19, 2011 at 2:44 PM, Henry Yuan <forwardmy@xxxxxxxxx> wrote: > Thanks for the suggestion.
