Hi there,
While I was playing around with YSlow (http://developer.yahoo.com/yslow/), a tool to measure the performance of a website, I found that images and stylesheets on the fedoraproject wiki are not served from my browser cache when I hit a page a second time.
My theory is that every appserver adds a different ETag to a response (etags are based on inode number by default), so a second request hits another appserver or proxy, and the response has a differen ETag header.
This can simply be turned off with FileETag None in Apache 2. It might improve the performance of the site a litte.
Cheers,
Ruben
etags are actually working now but we are running into other problems.
