Description Roy Silvernail 2004-02-09 19:53:50 UTC

Feature request for the webserver component.  
HEAD command is used by many browsers to check for changed content.
Last-Modified and E-Tag headers are cached by the client and sent back in as
If-Modified-Since and If-None-Match request headers.  The server should respect
these headers and return a '304 Unchanged' response if the file to be fetched
hasn't been updated.  Primarily for cover art, but generally useful.

HTTP 1.1 server commited.
