Maybe this patch requires more explanation.

First, it's a sort of quick hack to add the Last-Modified handling to Cocoon
fast as I needed this for our site.
Second, since that it's working well for us, but... now I'm thinking that we
need more integrated solution to handle Last-Modified and Is-Modified-Since.
Currently Cocoon tries to handle Is-Modified-Since for the StreamPipeline
but not in the EventPipeline. The Environment already has the provisions for
that (isResponseModified, setResponseModified).
Third, after this patch the Cocoon behavior is not configurable - it
generates Last-Modified is each and every response, this should be changed:
we need to have means to turn this off for some buggy user agents (IE 6) in
some situations to force them to update their local cache.

So, I think that the below methods should be added, but some further
development is needed to make all things right :-)

When I'll finish the first round of the Slide integration I'll return to
this problem.

 GF> void setTimestamp(long ts);

 GF> /**
 GF>  * Get current timestamp.
 GF>  */
 GF> long getTimestamp();
 GF> </code>
