In general, snarky attitude doesn't help make a bug report in the WebKit project more important.

My understanding was that you were requesting a change in behavior in Safari - Which is why I *directly asked* if that's what you were requesting.

A change in behavior in Safari would have to be filed as a bug report with Apple, and in Apple bug parlance "enhancement request" is an actual categorization of bug report that is asking for a change in behavior when the current behavior is not obviously wrong.

That said...

Thank you for providing that link.  In the future, if you are filing a follow up bug to a previous bug, it would be extremely helpful to include that context up front and would help avoid a lot of confusion.

So my understanding now is that if you hit cmd-R in Safari (with a WebKit nightly) on a page that includes subresources... that the subresources are requested with a conditional GET but the main resource is still requested with a non-conditional GET.

Is that the bug you are reporting?
