NodeJS/express: Cache and 304 status code

Question

When I reload a website made with express, I get a blank page with Safari (not with Chrome) because the NodeJS server sends me a 304 status code.

How to solv

Answer 1

Try using private browsing in Safari or deleting your entire cache/cookies.

I've had some similar issues using chrome when the browser thought it had the website in its cache but actually had not.

The part of the http request that makes the server respond a 304 is the etag. Seems like Safari is sending the right etag without having the corresponding cache.
