Invalid Expires headers

Hello,

 

 

Im running 9.4.6 with WAM activated in Profile.

 

 

The pvac.log show:

 

 

Apr 8 09:23:44 F5LTM1 WA Debug: {74726320} Invalid Expires header received {Mon, 01 Jan 0001 00:00:00 GMT}, setting to {2246444148}

 

Apr 8 09:24:06 F5LTM1 WA Debug: {88218544} Invalid Expires header received {Mon, 01 Jan 0001 00:00:00 GMT}, setting to {2246466723}

 

 

If i activate the WAM to a site, then 5 or 6 hours later, the site is unavailable. The browser just show a blank page.

 

 

This can help you.

    Daniel,

     

    I think WA does not handle HEAD request. Your issue may come from Expires header coming from web server with a value of "0" or "-1". This issue has been resolved in 9.4.5-HF2. This issue is described here : Click here.

     

    Hope this helps.
