[mod-security-users] Web brower cache enabling response headers missing

[<Rob...@ao...>]

Hello  all,
 
I am trying to help my hosting service provider solve what seems to be a  
problem with mod_security implementation.  For static HTML pages  (page.htm, 
page.html) over an HTTP connection (not HTTPS) the server is  currently sending 
only the following response headers to the web  browser:
 
HTTP/1.1 200 OK 
Date: Sun, 04 Nov 2007 18:42:36 GMT 
Server:  WebServerX 
X-Powered-By: PHP/4.4.7 
Connection: close  
Transfer-Encoding: chunked 
Content-Type: text/html 
 
That's a problem for me because there is nothing in the headers that  would 
enable a web browser to "decide" whether or not to cache the web page -  
minimally: content-length and last-modified headers.  Image mime types are  being 
served with that information plus an Etag.
 
I have a lot of related questions but I'll limit myself to  one (three part) 
for now:
 
Is it likely that the configuration of the server including use of  
mod_security is bollixed, thus resulting in the unusually sparse  headers -or- is this 
likely something that was done deliberately to protect the  server and its 
users -or- is this an unfortunate and unavoidable side  effect of response body 
filtering using mod_security?
 
Thank you,
 
Rob
