[users@httpd] Expires question...

Hi All,

If the expires header is set initially at say 2 weeks in the future and the next 
day set to 1 week in the future when will the 1 week in the future be picked up 
by the brower or web cache that is in front of the web server that was set to 1 
week? Assuming no file name changes.

Thanks,
-Tony

No, the client doesn't waste a roundtrip to see if changed before the
Expires: time indicated, so he never sees an updated header.
