If we see CGI as a kind of input that is not strictly regulated by HTTP header formats (and that is an if), we should correct timezone offset to GMT, but otherwise leave the time unchanged. It might be our clock that has the issue. Meddling with it will not help anyone debugging problems. If the value is unparseable, we should log it and suppress sending out a "Last-Modified" completely. Also any "If-*" checking should behave as if the header was not present. The alternative is to expect the CGI to honor HTTP/1.1 header semantics, pass values unchanged and let CGI and client run into misunderstandings immediately. all my personal opinion. restrictions for backward compat in 2.2/2.4 apply. -Stefan
