If-Modified-Since Issue

[Chizl]

I wanted to add "If-Modified-Since" support in my web server..
Based on the following URL
http://www.w3.org/Protocols/rfc2616/rfc2616-sec14.html

A 304 (not modified) response will be returned without any message-body.

I do that, however, I cleared my IE7 cache, closed the browser, reopened,
went to my website, and IE is sending me the "If-Modified-Since". I
respond with a 304 and don't send any data past the header. Here is the
problem, IE doesn't have the cache anymore, so it displays nothing. Why
after I've gone into IE7 and did a DELETE ALL, it still retains the
"If-Modified-Since" somewhere, thinking it has the cache?

I don't see anything in the question that has anything to do with C# or
..NET. Aside from the fact that the question appears to be off-topic here,
moreso you should be concerned that you would get much better answers if
you found a newsgroup that actually had something to do with the
implementation of web servers and/or the technical support of Internet
Explorer in particular.

It's possible someone here might know the answer, but it's a long shot and
IMHO you're not doing yourself any favors by posting that question here.

He had an internet problem and posted it on Internet... at least
half right...

implementation of web servers

Is a web server I've developed in C#..

Sorry, but there isn't a newsgroup called, "People that wrote their own web
server and have dealings with IE behavior", or I would subscribe to it..

The fact that you wrote it in C# isn't really relevant. This newsgroup is
primarily for questions regarding the use of the C# language itself, not
for any random question that comes up while you are using C#. It is
secondarily for questions regarding the use of .NET in the context of C#,
but again...that means for questions specific to the .NET framework, not
for any random question that comes up while you are using the .NET
Framework.

I realize that there are numbers of questions here that don't fall into
those categories, but they are at least obliquely related enough that the
audience here has a good chance of answering them. The sorts of details
you're asking about here are far afield from things people writing .NET
programs in C# would normally run into, unlike the bulk of the other
questions that are technically off-topic.

Sorry, but there isn't a newsgroup called, "People that wrote their own
web
server and have dealings with IE behavior", or I would subscribe to it..

There's not a newsgroup called "People that write C# programs and are
using the .NET Framework" either. So what?

I am positive, even without knowing the specific name of the newsgroup,
that somewhere out there _is_ in fact a newsgroup that pertains much more
specifically to implementing an HTTP server and/or the specific behavior
of IE in the context of communicating with an HTTP server.

In any case, my reply was for your benefit. If you refuse to seek out
better quality assistance from a more appropriate forum, you mainly hurt
yourself. I don't think you're annoying anyone here with your questions,
you are simply just not going to get the kind of help that would really be
useful to you.
