I have a strange issue with IIS 7.
Sometimes it seems to return a 304 instead of a 200.
Here is a sample request captured with Fiddler:
(Note that the file requested is not located in my browsers cache yet.)
GET https://[mysite]/Content/js/jquery.form.js HTTP/1.1 Accept: */* Referer: https://[mysite]/Welcome/News Accept-Language: sv-SE User-Agent: Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 8.0; Windows NT 6.1; WOW64; Trident/4.0; SLCC2; .NET CLR 2.0.50727; .NET CLR 3.5.30729; .NET CLR 3.0.30729; Media Center PC 6.0; InfoPath.2; OfficeLiveConnector.1.4; OfficeLivePatch.1.3; .NET4.0C; .NET4.0E) Accept-Encoding: gzip, deflate Host: [mysite] Connection: Keep-Alive Cache-Control: no-cache Cookie: ...
Note that there is no If-Modified-Since or If-None-Match in the request.
But still the response is:
HTTP/1.1 304 Not Modified Cache-Control: public Expires: Tue, 02 Mar 2010 06:26:08 GMT Last-Modified: Mon, 22 Feb 2010 21:58:44 GMT ETag: "1CAB40A337D4200" Server: Microsoft-IIS/7.5 X-Powered-By: ASP.NET Date: Mon, 01 Mar 2010 17:06:34 GMT
Does anyone have a clue of what could be wrong here?
I'm running IIS 7 on Windows Web Server 2008 R2.
EDIT:
I've found a workaround, enable caching and then disable it on an extension level did the trick for me.
<configuration>
<system.webServer>
<caching enabled="true" enableKernelCache="true">
<profiles>
<add extension=".png" policy="DisableCache" kernelCachePolicy="DisableCache" />
<add extension=".gif" policy="DisableCache" kernelCachePolicy="DisableCache" />
<add extension=".js" policy="DisableCache" kernelCachePolicy="DisableCache" />
<add extension=".css" policy="DisableCache" kernelCachePolicy="DisableCache" />
</profiles>
</caching>
<staticContent>
<clientCache cacheControlMode="NoControl" />
</staticContent>
</system.webServer>
</configuration>
