> The default configuration in example/solr/solrconfig.xml for HTTP caching can easily result cached responses (304) to a change configuration that would result in a different response.  This results in a bad user (developer) experience, especially for the novice Solr user. It bit me several times when I was getting started.  Hopefully I don't need to further convince committers that the default configuration is a problem.  So as a consequence, I've always added never304="true" when starting new work with Solr and I recommend that readers of my book do the same. I'd like to see this rectified.
> The lastModifiedFrom="openTime" attribute should not be a problem. The openTime is "safe" and should not introduce bad cached responses, except when the query response uses "NOW"; but there's little that can be done about that.
> The etagSeed is a problem because it uses IndexReader.getVersion() which is the commit version and does not take into consideration the possibility of a configuration change. I hoped that not specifying etagSeed would result in no ETag but that did not occur -- I consider that a bug.  Similarly, I would expect not specifying lastModifiedFrom would not result in a Last-Modified header but I haven't checked what happens.
> I'm not an expert in caching headers but it seems a little redundant to use both Last-Modified & ETag (& potentially Expires) when just one of these would suffice.  Would it not?
