- * accesses Drupal via an HTTP proxy (see
- * https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=269303): When an authenticated
- * user requests a page, and then logs out and requests the same page again,
- * Firefox may send a conditional request based on the page that was cached
- * locally when the user was logged in. If this page did not have an ETag
- * header, the request only contains an If-Modified-Since header. The date will
- * be recent, because with authenticated users the Last-Modified header always
- * refers to the time of the request. If the user accesses Drupal via a proxy
- * server, and the proxy already has a cached copy of the anonymous page with an
- * older Last-Modified date, the proxy may respond with 304 Not Modified, making
- * the client think that the anonymous and authenticated pageviews are
- * identical.
+ * ETag and Last-Modified headers are not set per default for authenticated
+ * users so that browsers do not send If-Modified-Since headers from
+ * authenticated user pages. drupal_serve_page_from_cache() will set appropriate
+ * ETag and Last-Modified headers for cached pages.
