FIX: Response That Contains the Cache-Control: s-maxage=0 Header Does Not Expire Immediately


View products that this article applies to.

Symptoms

If you use Internet Security and Acceleration (ISA) Server 2000 in either a Web publishing scenario or a Web proxy scenario, ISA Server may not immediately expire a response that contains the Cache-Control: s-maxage=0 header. This header is used to tell a proxy server not to use an entry after it is delivered to the requesting client unless it first revalidates the entry with the origin server. A value of 0 means that the cached response should expire immediately.

Cause

This problem occurs because ISA Server does not immediately expire the content. ISA Server waits for the current time to be greater than the request time in whole seconds. ISA Server incorrectly returns cached content for new requests that are made to the same resource within the same second without first revalidating the entry with the origin server.
