[Tilecache] ETag/Last-Modified or mod_expires [solved]

[Alexandre Dube]

List,

  I had an other 2.10 TC version installed in my system conflicting with 
my trunk version of TC.  Removing it and fixing some apache 
configuration settings showed that the X-SendFile works perfectly with 
current trunk version.

  Special thanks to Mark for his help,

Alexandre
