Last-modified does't use inode last status change

           Summary: Last-modified does't use inode last status change
           Product: Apache httpd-2.0
           Version: 2.0.49
          Platform: PC
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: NEW
          Severity: Minor
          Priority: Other
         Component: All
        AssignedTo: [email protected]
        ReportedBy: [EMAIL PROTECTED]


Apache uses "last modified" field of stat structure and does not use "last
status change". I've got a problem: I had wrong permissions on file and apache
could not give it to me. When I set right permissions, I could not get file
because only "last status change" field of file changed, so "Last-modifed" field
of HTTP response not changed and Squid gave my cached error -- I could not get 
file.

I think, Apache should use max("last modified", "last status change").

How I found this:

# TZ=GMT stat file
...
Modify: 2004-06-12 21:17:30.000000000 +0000
Change: 2004-06-12 21:19:35.000000000 +0000
# telnet localhost 80
GET /path/file
Host: localhost

...

It is easy for me to do "touch file", but it is because I know how HTTP works,
many users (not administrators or programmers) do not know.
