           Summary: 304 NOT MODIFIED on CGI scripts
           Product: Apache httpd-2.0
           Version: 2.0.54
          Platform: Other
        OS/Version: other
            Status: NEW

          Priority: P2
         Component: Core
        AssignedTo: [email protected]

OK, You'll probably tell me exactly why I screwed up, but I'm going to report  
this anyway.  
  
If you have a CGI script using the GET method, and the browser sends an  
"If-Modified-Since", apache will return a "304 NOT MODIFIED", without regard to 
 
whether the resource is changing - it only looks at the modification time of  
the file itself.  While this is allowed by the HTTP spec, I believe this to be  
incorrect behavior, especially as this happens before the CGI is executed.  
  
I added a patch to look for r->handler == "cgi_script" in  
modules/http/http_protocol.c.  It seems to work fine for our purposes but is  
probably not a general enough solution to make it into the apache tree.  Glad  
to listen to other options - perhaps it should be tied to XBitHack?
