Last-Modified and caching header not sent on GET/HEAD

    XMLWordPrintableJSON

Details

    Description

      While the dav spec does not require it (the language actually reads in
      the oppposite direction: if you send a Last-Modified header you must
      include a getlastmodified prop), there is no point not sending the
      header since we already have the information and do provide it in
      PROPFIND requests.
      
      Yes, i know mod_dav_svn spits out other headers that are better for
      caching, but a lot of people are still using squid, which is an
      HTTP/1.0 proxy unfortunately.  It *never* caches svn requests:
      
      X-Cache: MISS from dethstar.pretzelnet.org
      
      Like i said, we already have the info, this comes practically free.
