From: Bruno Wolff III <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: [EMAIL PROTECTED], [EMAIL PROTECTED] Cc: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: mod_cgi/3567: CGI Bin scripts can't override the Date header. Date: Mon, 21 Dec 1998 09:45:06 -0600 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.
