SunOS latimes10.su-colo.bbnplanet.com 5.6 Generic_105181-08 sun4u sparc SUNW,Ultra-Enterprise
>Description:
Responses which contain a set-cookie should not be cached by a proxy server
(quoting from http://home.netscape.com/newsref/std/cookie_spec.html :
When caching HTTP, as a proxy server might do, the Set-cookie response header should never be cached. )
>How-To-Repeat:
>Fix:
In file porxy_cache.c, at approximately line 880:
after the line
ap_table_get(r->headers_in, "Authorization") != NULL ||
add the line
ap_table_get(resp_hdrs, "Set-Cookie") != NULL ||
