[Zope-CMF] caching policy queries

[Miles Waller]

Hi,

I have a couple of queries about the caching policy manager.  Can anyone 
help?

1.  When 304 responses are enabled, if the function entered for 
modification time or etag return anything other than a string, the 
comparison always fails, and so the objects do not validate.  This is 
because the browser's if-none-xxx header value is a string, and so the 
CPM is comparing strings with datetimes.  Is this a bug, or do I have to 
manually ensure all the functions return strings each time?

2.  Is there any way to get at the modification time for the actual view 
or template that is being rendered?  For example, I would like to 
construct an etag of the form 'content.modified() + view.getModTime()'. 
  Also, it means I can't get the right modification time from the 
filesystem for any pythonscript-generated stylesheets (the closest I can 
get is the modtime of the containing folder).  What's the best way round 
this?

Thanks for your help,

Miles
