Either one alone is enough to make a 200 happen. Amos, thank you very, very much for that detailed answer :-) Not quite what I was hoping for, me wanting to get more HITs even if one or both of the above headers were to be included. (The goal is to reduce MISS-es and increase HIT-s, obviously.) But I think you pointed me to another direction... I need to cross-check and even tripple check how the actual back-end is configured. Amos, if you ever visit Iceland, I'll buy you a beer :-) Thanks again, Cheers, -- EinarI
