serving a TW5 with a last modified header via node.js

[Mark Brown]

Hi all,

Another potentially stupid question from me.

I've set up a remote virtual private server with the node.js edition and it works great.

I've noticed however that whereas TW5s served from tiddlyspot will cache on my iphone (and thus reload quickly) my node.js one's won't. Is this because node.js isn't adding a last modified header? Is there a simple server command that tells node.js to do this?

I'm a complete novice with node.js, having ventured in because of my love of all things tw5.

Cheers

Mark

Hi Mark

Not at all.

Excellent.

Ouch, I hadn't spotted that that was happening. I assume that a last-modified header would sort things out, but it would need testing. I'm afraid that that would not be a straightforward fix. I've created a ticket here:

I'd be happy to give you a high level guide through the modifications if you want to take it on; we should discuss on the GitHub ticket.

Best wishes

Jeremy.

 

Cheers
