I hope this is the correct forum: my apologies if not.
I hit a problem that no one has been able to really help with.
I stumbled upon this HTTP header Error when I first ran a couple web site analyzer programs checking for any errors on our site. I tried several different analyzers and/or validators and each one returned basically this same HTTP header.
Our web site is hosted at City Max, and when I questioned them about this error, I was told how to use my meta header tags. duh! But this is NOT something I have done. They stopped at the wall and left me hanging.
Here is a copy:
HTTP/1.1 200 OK
Connection: close
Date: Mon, 26 Apr 2010 18:30:36 GMT
Server: Microsoft-IIS/6.0
X-Powered-By: ASP.NET
Pragma: No-Cache
Expires: Sun, 26 Dec 1999 01:01:01 GMT
Content-Type: text/html; charset=utf-8
cache-control: No-Cache, no-store, must-revalidate
------------------------------------------------------------------
1.) What concerns me is the expiration date???
2.) ALSO, why does this show " no store and must revalidate"? ...when our store is open and doing business?
3.) And what is "revalidate"??? I mean, I know what the word means, but what needs to be done and where?
I did receive one reply from many that I had emailed at each of the validators and analyzer sites I used: He told me the error problem is coming from my servers. So is this something I need to hound City Max about?
While in my Google Webmaster Tools account today, I found the exact same erors when I ran a "Fetch as Googlebot" check to show how Googlebot fetched the page. So even Google is seeing this.
Is this anything I should be concerned about? Can this hurt our web site in any way? ie: statistics, craw, indexing, etc?
I am so confused and determined to dye my hair dark brown soon!
