Summary: Missing HTTP header "Content-Type" when response is 304,
after a request with "If-Modified-Since"
Product: Tomcat 5
Version: 5.0.30
Platform: All
OS/Version: All
Status: NEW
Keywords: RFC
Severity: normal
Priority: P2
Component: Unknown
AssignedTo: tomcat-dev@jakarta.apache.org
ReportedBy: olivier.jaquemet@jalios.com
The "Content-Type" header is not returned by tomcat when accessing file that
have not changed since the last access.
To reproduce:
- store a static file on server, say myfile.xls
- access the file a first time (with IE), everthing work as expected, the
"Content-Type" is provided by Tomcat.
- access the file a second time (with IE), IE provides a "If-Modified-Since"
header and Tomcat response is 304, as expected, but the "Content-Type" header is
missing and IE goes crazy. It works well with firefox 1.5 as it does not provide
the "If-Modified-Since".
The HTTP 1.1 RFC states:
"Any HTTP/1.1 message containing an entity-body SHOULD include a Content-Type
header[...]", a 304 response is not an entity-body.. therefore it does not
really violate any RFC, but it is not the behavior expected by the (current)
main browser IE...
