IIS 7 returns 304 instead of 200
- by Ola Herrdahl
I have a strange issue with IIS 7.
Sometimes it seems to return a 304 instead of a 200.
Here is a sample request captured with Fiddler:
(Note that the file requested is not located in my browsers cache yet.)
GET https://[mysite]/Content/js/jquery.form.js HTTP/1.1
Accept: */*
Referer: https://[mysite]/Welcome/News
Accept-Language: sv-SE
User-Agent: Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 8.0; Windows NT 6.1; WOW64; Trident/4.0; SLCC2; .NET CLR 2.0.50727; .NET CLR 3.5.30729; .NET CLR 3.0.30729; Media Center PC 6.0; InfoPath.2; OfficeLiveConnector.1.4; OfficeLivePatch.1.3; .NET4.0C; .NET4.0E)
Accept-Encoding: gzip, deflate
Host: [mysite]
Connection: Keep-Alive
Cache-Control: no-cache
Cookie: ...
Note that there is no If-Modified-Since or If-None-Match in the request.
But still the response is:
HTTP/1.1 304 Not Modified

Does anyone have a clue of what could be wrong here?
I'm running IIS 7 on Windows Web Server 2008 R2.
