MooTools Depender, Safari, etags and 412 Precondition Failed

Posted on by 
/**
* This replaces the default MooTools more Depender.request function to use
* HTTP "get" rather than "post".
*
* When sending requests for files via the depender, I was finding that Safari
* wasn't getting and re-evaluating them the second time I visited the page.
* This was because an etag was sent with each script.
*
* Safari responds to etags properly and adds "If-None-Match" and
* "If-Modified-Since" headers to another request for the same file. This makes
* Apache respond with a 412 status (Precondition Failed) as it should do for
* "post" requests (according to RFC 2616).
*
* Unfortunately Safari doesn't then deal with the 412 as it does with a 304
* (Not Modified). It doesn't grab what it has in the cache and put it in the
* response, it gives you nothing.
*
* For "get" requests, Apache has to respond with a 304, or 200 or whatever, but
* not 412. So we change the request method so we don't have to deal with 412.

  2. Have you ever thought about adding a little bit more than just your articles?
    I mean, what you say is fundamental and all. However think
    about if you added some great images or video clips to
    give your posts more, “pop”! Your content is excellent but with images and video clips, this
    site could definitely be one of the greatest in its
    field. Awesome blog!
