#252 Configuration of ETags on http://fedoraproject.org/wiki
Closed: Fixed None Opened 16 years ago by ruben.

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.
