           Summary: Safari not sending If-Modified-Since header
           Product: WebKit
           Version: 523.x (Safari 3)
          Platform: Macintosh Intel
               URL: http://test.ismfilms.com
        OS/Version: Mac OS X 10.5
            Status: UNCONFIRMED

I am trying to figure out why Safari (3.0.4) won't send If-Modified-Since
headers for SWFs in some cases.  I have observed that for some SWFs, Safari
never sends the If-Modified-Since header, while it does for other content such
as graphics and other SWFs.  Also, IE and Firefox/Mozilla seem to handle these
particular SWFs just fine.  I did find mention of this issue from several years
ago at
http://www.codepoetry.net/archives/2003/11/07/safari_and_ifmodifiedsince.php
.  Are these SWFs not making into the Safari cache at all (this has been really
hard to verify which is why I'm not sure), or is there some other reason that
Safari does not send the If-Modified-Since header (maybe the HTTP headers
applied by the server or something).  I am looking for any information that
will help in working around this issue, or some idea of when it might be fixed.
