If-Modified-Since header does not works

It does not reseive 304 code. I check it on https://last-modified.com/en/ and https://bertal.ru/index.php?a6[...]i.org/doc/HomePage#h .
In my istallation R5.5.10 I fix it by inserting php code provided on Last-Modified.com to first line of \theme\_common\_header.php
Probably there is more beautiful solution.

  1. If-Modified-Since header does work

    Just check the results in the Web developer tools -> Network analysis of your browser. There you can see the correct results.

    Please read the http class for more details, see function check_http_request().

    Can't say why the mentioned service don't recognize it.

    In the http class there is the comment:
    if ($_SERVER['REQUEST_METHOD'] == 'GET')  // may be we need HEAD support ???	

    Do we need HEAD support?

    9.4 HEAD

    The HEAD method is identical to GET except that the server MUST NOT return a message-body in the response. The metainformation contained in the HTTP headers in response to a HEAD request SHOULD be identical to the information sent in response to a GET request. This method can be used for obtaining metainformation about the entity implied by the request without transferring the entity-body itself. This method is often used for testing hypertext links for validity, accessibility, and recent modification.

    The response to a HEAD request MAY be cacheable in the sense that the information contained in the response MAY be used to update a previously cached entity from that resource. If the new field values indicate that the cached entity differs from the current entity (as would be indicated by a change in Content-Length, Content-MD5, ETag or Last-Modified), then the cache MUST treat the cache entry as stale.

    But we can't send body for HEAD requests -> Apache will do all the heavy lifting (stripping the response body).

  2. 304 code response delay

    In the run function there is the following line
    if (!$user && $this->page['modified'])
    {
    	header('Last-Modified: ' . Ut::http_date(strtotime($this->page['modified']) + 120));
    }	


    which causes the 304 code response delay, I'm currently not sure which purpose that delay serves exactly.
