I am trying to set a cookie in my Google App Engine page:
self.response.headers.add_header('Set-Cookie','CookieName=1234; expires:Sun, 31-May-2009 23:59:59 GMT; path=/;')
The expiration date is not showing up in the browser. So it deletes itself at the end of the session.
Here is the output from curl -D:
HTTP/1.1 200 OK
Content-Type: text/html; charset=utf-8
Cache-Control: no-cache
Set-Cookie: CookieName=1234; expires:Fri, 01 Jan 2010 11:48:41 GMT
Date: Fri, 08 May 2009 11:57:25 GMT
Server: Google Frontend
Expires: Fri, 08 May 2009 11:57:25 GMT
Transfer-Encoding: chunked
What am I missing?
The problem is you're using "expires:" with a colon. Needs to be "expires=" with an equals.
With a "curl -D somefile" I can check that your cookie comes to the client exactly as specified. Can you check that, and confirm that the issue is with your browser and its settings rather than with the server side?

The response I am testing using Gatling has the following headers, which includes a Cache-Control header of 2 minutes.

When using a basic simulation like so, I can easily overwhelm the servers despite being behind a Varnish server. Is Gatling by default including a cache buster?
constantUsersPerSec(500) during(1 minute)
Each virtual users has its own caches, there's no global shared one (it wouldn't make sense). Here, you're creating 500 new virtual users by second. Assuming your scenario only sends one request, you'll be hitting your server 500 times/s. Isn't it what you observe?
I am getting Unknown error (HTTP Code: 500) intermittently. Also, there is no exception log in Google Developer Console. Kindly help me to resolve this.
Note: My App engine's Endpoint don't have any authentication and it is open to hit.
Following is that intermittent response:
500 OK

Unknown Error
Although this question should be trivial, I didn't success to enable browser caching on web google app engine java server.
I've try to put this kind of thing in my appengine-web.xml:
<static-files>
<include path="/**.cache.**" expiration="365d" />
...
but when I'm looking the response header I find this in local:
Content-Length: 196084

Which is fine... but this in production environment:

Which is definitively not what I want :(
Any idea ? something I've missed ?

An ETag and several contradictory 'Expires' and 'Cache-Control' ...
Is there several way to configure caching policy ? Could it come from my ISP ? or a proxy ?
When you are logged in to a Google App Engine application as an administrator:
The X-AppEngine-* headers shown in your question are included.
The Cache-Control: no-cache, must-revalidate header is included, because the X-AppEngine-* headers are private and must not be cached.
This is hidden at the end of the Responses section at https://developers.google.com/appengine/docs/python/runtime#Responses, which says that:
Responses with resource usage statistics will be made uncacheable.
Yes, Cache-Control is off because reply is HTTP 304.
The problem is that your browser saved the ETag: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HTTP_ETag
Now for every request for the same url/content, browser provides ETag and GAE replies with HTTP 304 Not Modified.
Try changing the resource (image) at this url, checking another url that you have not yet loaded in this browser or using another browser or computer altogether.
Also, this is relevant: What takes precedence: the ETag or Last-Modified HTTP header?
I have a django-nonrel app running in Google App Engine and am wanting all the content to be gzipped.
I keep reading that GAE automatically gzips the content but when I check the headers using Firefox's web developer toolbar I get the following result:
Via: 1.1 TL-ISA1
Connection: Keep-Alive
Proxy-Connection: Keep-Alive
Transfer-Encoding: chunked

Cache-Control: max-age=0
200 OK
I was expecting to see Content-Encoding: gzip, but since it is not there, my assumption is that the content is not being gzipped as it should.
Am I missing something? For example, do I need to do something extra if I am using django-nonrel?
Just to add, I am new to Web development - so don't be afraid to patronise. Thanks
Gzip should work out of the box, you are probably requesting the page through a proxy.
I'm having problems getting SharePoint 2010/IIS 7.5 to respect byte-range requests. I'm developing a SharePoint 2010 Web Part using Silverlight, and am trying to retrieve part of a document stored inside SharePoint.
When I request a byte range of a file in SharePoint, the server responds with the entire file. However, if I request the same byte range from a file sitting on an Apache server, everything works as expected. Below are the http headers observed with Fiddler.
Any help would be really appreciated! Thanks.

The problem is that SharePoint caching is off be default, and needs to be turned on to enable byte-range requests. See Disk-Based Caching for Binary Large Objects.
Note http://www.w3.org/Protocols/rfc2616/rfc2616-sec14.html#sec14.35.2:
"A server MAY ignore the Range header."
Thus whenever you are using a Range header you must be able to handle a 200 response. The fact that your server doesn't appear to support range serving is unfortunate, but conformant.
