Returned cache page with headers set
-
Hi, I have an issue about validating my website with https://securityheaders.com/.
Indeed, when I select the “HTTP Strict Transport Security policy ” option in W3 Cache pluggin, it works fine at the first call of the page :
status: 200
strict-transport-security: max-age=31536000; includeSubDomains;
vary: Accept-Encoding
x-content-type-options: nosniff
x-frame-options: SAMEORIGIN
x-powered-by: W3 Total Cache/0.9.7.2
x-xss-protection: 1; mode=blockThen, when I reload the page (or someone else try to access to the same page), all security headers have gone :
status: 200
vary: Accept-Encoding
x-powered-by: W3 Total Cache/0.9.7.2Then, https://securityheaders.com/ will return a bad score…
It is like cache paged will return only content but not security headers (overrided by default values..)
How can it be fixed ?
Thanks

Hello,
Can you please confirm if you are using Nginx? If so, this is a known issue and we are aware of headers not working correctly in Nginx.
We are working on this and this will be fixed in future releases.Hi,
The web site is installed on ionos (ex-1and1) plateforme which returns « Apache » in server header.Hello,
There is a possibility that you are missing .htaccess file in cache/page_enhanced directory. Can you please check if there is .htacess file there?
Hi,
thanks for your answer and your help.
.htaccess is well present in cache/page_enhanced but have less data than the original one.
See below the .htaccess in cache/page_enhanced :# BEGIN W3TC Page Cache cache AddDefaultCharset UTF-8 FileETag MTime Size <IfModule mod_mime.c> AddType text/html .html_gzip AddEncoding gzip .html_gzip AddType text/xml .xml_gzip AddEncoding gzip .xml_gzip </IfModule> <IfModule mod_setenvif.c> SetEnvIfNoCase Request_URI \.html_gzip$ no-gzip SetEnvIfNoCase Request_URI \.xml_gzip$ no-gzip </IfModule> <IfModule mod_expires.c> ExpiresActive On ExpiresByType text/html M3600 </IfModule> <IfModule mod_headers.c> Header set X-Powered-By "W3 Total Cache/0.9.7.2" Header set Vary "Accept-Encoding, Cookie" Header set Pragma "public" Header append Cache-Control "public" </IfModule> # END W3TC Page Cache cache
And see what I have in the .htaccess :

Hello,
Thank you for the info.
We are checking this. There is a possibility that security rules are indeed missing from the page_enhanced .htaccess file
Once again thank you for bringing this to our attention and thanks for your patience.Hello @goldensteph,
Can you please share the entire .htaccess file? You can drop us a not at https://www.w3-edge.com/contact/ if more convenient
