Hi,

>'slackintosh.workaround.ch' and 'workaround.ch' deliver different content:

Thanks for bringing this to my attention, should be fixed.

Background:
----------------

A few days ago i've replaced the old webserver on workaround.ch 
(pabache.pl: written by myself a few years ago) with a combination of 
squid-reverse-proxy + lighttpd.

Squid can now serve many request from memory / cheap-disk cache without 
even asking the webserver. (There are a lot of bots crawling workaround.ch. 
Having spambots hitting your webserver (like: id-search.org) is not so 
funny. UA-Blocking rulez ;-) )

But if slapt-get fetches the new PACKAGES.TXT, it will always send a 
If-Not-Modified-Since header causing squid to *not* re-validate it's own 
copy until age > refresh_pattern.max . This limit was set to 72 hours, i've 
adjusted it to 20 min.

Regards,
 Adrian
