Domino web server does not return 304 when using authentication

Hello -

I’m hoping someone has an answer for this. I’m trying to implement caching on domino, however the server will never respond with 304 when the user has to authenticate.

For example:

curl -v -H ‘If-Modified-Since: Fri, 06 Jun 2008 15:53:06 GMT’ -u

username:password http://myserver.com/test.nsf/view/hello

…will never return a 304. However,

curl -v -H ‘If-Modified-Since: Fri, 06 Jun 2008 15:53:06 GMT’ http://myserver.com/test.nsf/view/hello

will return a 304 (above dates being appropriate requests)

Does anyone know what’s going on ? I have tried creating http header rules and loading the internet sites document on the server but it doesn’t make a difference either way.

Thank you
