My understanding...

304 is used if a user conditioinally request for an object, e.g. by pressing F5.

If expire is set and still fresh, client NO need to contact my server,
so my log cannot see 304 at all...

so seeing too many 304 is abnormal...and you see my example above is
serious in IE only.

Amos: Sure even if this is IE problem, I have no way to contact them
for support... :)

Thanks.
