Hi,

If page is compressed with gzip, IE is not sending Etag (If-None-Match)
header.
but Firefox is working well..

How can fix this problem?

Example php code:
<?php
ob_start('ob_gzhandler');
header('ETag: '.time());
$array = apache_request_headers();
foreach($array as $key=>$value)
{
echo "$key : $value".'<br>';
}
?>

Example url:
http://64.132.144.166/~gomoste/etag_test.php

Please test Firefox and IE, will you see.

My system is:
XP PRO SP2
IE 6.0.2900.2180
