Hello
I use RC2 for editing a CMS page and experience very slow loading of images. I know, my server latency is quite high (around 150 ms) and I am aware, this is not optimal. Still, I do not understand, why the images are displayed so slowly since they are present in the IE disk cache. Firefox has no problems with them and displays them fast enough. it seems to me that the images are reloaded again on every request.
A cookie is attached to the session and the images have a response header which indicates an expiration time in the future.
Does anybody have an idea why IE does not take the toolbar images from disk cache?
Michael

RE: RC2 loads slowly
RE: RC2 loads slowly - solved
Although the toolbar images and other resources got cached in IE local cache, IE still tried to validate the resource with the origin server. This caused the latency. The reason for this behaviour was that there was no explicit freshness information attached to the resources. Adding a "Cache-Control" "max-age=xxx" with the help of apache web server solved the problem.
