cache.html file is not cached with JBoss(Tomcat) and Internet Explorer 6-7

[pepgrifell]

Hi,

I have 2 filters in my aplication (defined in web.xml):

- CacheFilter: to cache static files (*.cache.html,*.css, ...)
- GZIPFiler : to gzip cache.html file.

GZIPFilter works ok but cache filter , using JBoss and IE6-7 does not
caches my cache.html file.

I read that Tomcat adds Pragma: no-cache header to any resources in a
secure context. So, altough I add an expires header (1 year) to my
cache.html file, then Tomcat adds Pragma: no-cache header and the
cache.html file is not cached.

In this link http://forums.adobe.com/thread/95228 they explain how to
add another filter (ResponseHeaderFilter) to change the headers
(after tomcat has added Pragma: no-cache header)

<filter>
<filter-name>ResponseHeaderFilter</filter-name>
<filter-
class>com.nte.anthema.gwt.server.common.ResponseHeaderFilter</filter-
class>
<init-param>
<param-name>Cache-Control</param-name>
<param-value>max-age=3600</param-value>
</init-param>
<init-param>
<param-name>Pragma</param-name>
<param-value>public</param-value>
</init-param>
</filter>
<filter-mapping>
<filter-name>ResponseHeaderFilter</filter-name>
<url-pattern>*.cache.html</url-pattern>
</filter-mapping>

But, the html.cache file is not cached neither.

Has anyone got a solution to this ?

Thanks !!

For Tomcat, if you have this in your META-INF/context.html:

<Context debug="0">
        <Valve className="org.apache.catalina.authenticator.NonLoginAuthenticator"
                disableProxyCaching="false" />
</Context>

This will prevent it from doing the caching.  If you have any other type of Authenticator in use already, you can probably just add the disableProxyCaching="false" attribute to it.

Hi,

the problem is that *.css,*.js and images are cached but the only file
that is not cached is my cache.html file ... The file is about 3MB and
each time the users enter in the application, this file is downladed.
The only different thing from cache.html file and the others
(css,js,images...) is that cache.html file is gzipped before sending
it to the client.

I tried to add :
<Context>
<Valve className="org.apache.catalina.authenticator.FormAuthenticator"
disableProxyCaching="false" />
</Context>

in META-INF/context.xml file (WAR) but it's not working either. (we
use JAAS. I tried with FormAuthenticator and SSLAuthenticator)


Any idea why cache.html file is not cached ?

Thanks !

Hi,

Please share your HTTP headers for cache.html.
Also check your GZIP filter if it is not overriding some of the
settings already set by cache filter.
