http://issues.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=27122 IE plugins cannot access components through Tomcat 5 over SSL ------- Additional Comments From [EMAIL PROTECTED] 2004-07-12 11:58 ------- Microsoft describes the exact behaviour of their bug on this webpage: http://support.microsoft.com/?id=316431 Microsoft says that this bug is "by design" and that they will not ifx it. This is just SOOO arrogant!! -- Tomcat adds the respective caching headers to the HTTP header automatically if and only if a resource of a webapp is being accessed for which a user data constraint of CONFIDENTIAL has been set. I PROPOSE TO HAVE A SPECIAL ATTRIBUTE WITHIN THE CONNECTOR CONFIGURATION BY WHICH TOMCAT CAN BE FORCED NOT TO SET CACHING HEADERS ITSELF. *** PLUS *** I DON'T LIKE THAT THIS BUG HAS BEEN MARKED AS INVALID! SEVERAL PEOPLE HAVE REPORTED THIS BEHAVIOUR AND a FIX IS POSSIBLE AND STRAIGHTFORWARD TO APPLY. (Search for 'no-cache' within the connector codebase and put an if(doCaching) bracket around it. That's all there is to it.) I leave it to the tomcat developers to reopen this bug as I regard it as somehow impolite to do this myself. However, I strongly recommend you people to do so. This bug is reproducible on every InternetExplorer. A lot of people will get headaches and spend days on investigation unless you add the proposed attribute to the connector configuration or at least place a comment on the webpage which informs developers of the effect in question. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
