Hi, the ResourceReader does not check for the unavailability of an InputSource's timestamp during generateKey() and generateValidity(). This may cause problems with bogus data being served from the cache. The following patch modifies the ResourceReader's behaviour to match the one of, for instance, FileGenerator.
