Ran into an issue today where despite setting cache tags on a swf file, the chrome browser was downloading it everytime I moved from one page to other and come back to same page. This was working fine in Internet Explorer and FireFox. After spending an hour with firebug, pagespeed and fiddler I figured out that cache tags were set correctly but still chrome won't cache it. At last I found this issue reported to chrome developers http://code.google.com/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=103875 . It appears that because I was using a self signed certificate on local install, chrome wont cache any content until I use a valid certificate. So the solution is to generate a free certificate using https://www.startssl.com/ and use it locally to avoid this issue.
One of the biggest problems I have been trying to solve at our startup is to put our tomcat nodes in HA mode. Right now if a customer comes, he lands on to a node and remains there forever. This has two major issues: 1) We have to overprovision each node with ability to handle worse case capacity. 2) If two or three high profile customers lands on to same node then we need to move them manually. 3) We need to cut over new nodes and we already have over 100+ nodes. Its a pain managing these nodes and I waste lot of my time in chasing node specific issues. I loath when I know I have to chase this env issue. I really hate human intervention as if it were up to me I would just automate thing and just enjoy the fruits of automation and spend quality time on major issues rather than mundane task,call me lazy but thats a good quality. So Finally now I am at a stage where I can put nodes behing HAProxy in QA env. today we were testing the HA config and first problem I immediately
Just spent several hours diagnosing the same thing. Thanks for confirming this.
