[Bug 908583] [NEW] Apache cache serving partial content 206 responses to requests for the full content

[Henk Bokhoven]

Public bug reported:

Apache is caching 206 responses.
This is a known bug: https://issues.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=49113
has been fixed in the trunk (http://svn.apache.org/viewvc?view=revision&revision=933919) but not in 2.2.1x

[1]  Description:  Ubuntu 10.04.3 LTS, Release: 10.04
[2] Package: latest apache2 / apache2-mpm-worker 2.2.14-5ubuntu8.7
[3] Expected to happen: 
HEAD "http://example.com/filename.swf"
200 OK
Cache-Control: max-age=604800
Connection: close

[4] What happened instead: 
HEAD "http://example.com/filename.swf"
206 Partial Content
Cache-Control: max-age=604800

Cleaned up the cached file by hand from the CacheRoot

My advise:  apply the 2 patches as discussed here:

http://svn.apache.org/viewvc/httpd/httpd/branches/2.2.x/STATUS?view=markup&pathrev=1165626

That makes:  http://people.apache.org/~minfrin/httpd-cache-partial-2.2.patch
