In that case, I would like to suggest a change to pass a copy of the Date
header value in the environment to cgi-bin scripts. This would allow cgi-bin
scripts to make sure that their Last-Modified headers aren't greater than
their Date headers without having to make guesses about worst case latencies.

Thanks for looking into this.
