2597	304 Not Modified Headers not returned in RSS2 feed	gfmorris	anonymous	"[http://ijsm.org/archives/2006/03/23/respect-for-http-304-positive-feedback-loop/#comment-19863 Scott Sanders of FeedLounge noticed that IJSM.org's RSS2 feed was not 304-aware].  IJSM.org is running WPv2.0.2.  That sent me on a goose-chase around my box, knowing that I have WP installs at a variety of revision levels [bad, I know].

----

[http://rmfo-blogs.com/about/feed/ v2.0 RSS2 feed] shows up as returning 304.
[http://www.geekking.com/?feed=rss2 v2.0.1 RSS2 feed] shows up as returning 304.
[http://gfmorris.wordpress.com/feed/ WordPress.com RSS2 feed] shows up as returning 304.
[http://ijsm.org/feed/rss2/ v2.0.2 RSS2 feed] does not return a 304.

I have checked the [http://ijsm.org/feed/rss/ /rss/], [http://ijsm.org/comment/feed/ /comment/], and [http://ijsm.org/feed/atom/ /atom/] feeds for IJSM.org and they also show no 304 headers returned.

The [http://www.geekking.com/?feed=comments-rss2 comments feed for the 2.0.1 install I have] returns a 304 as it should.

I don't know if this is related to the security fixes of 2.0.1--->2.0.2; if so, I'm okay with it.  I'll take the bandwidth hit on my box over the probability of my box being 0WN3d.  That said, this is still an issue.

I'll leave those feeds untouched through until Sunday evening Central time so that there's time to check them.  Past then, I need to secure my box.

Thanks for your time!"	defect (bug)	closed	normal	2.0.7	Administration	2.0.2	major	fixed	304 http headers feed RSS2
