>
> Right now, when ATS generates a 304 response (Not Modified), we always remove
> the Last-Modified header. Reading the RFC, we should only remove the
> Last-Modified header if there is an ETag header. This is a simple fix, and we
> should just do it IMO.
> It also always removes the Expires headers, which we are not supposed to
> touch. Now, we do overwrite the Cc: header, so maybe we should remove that
> too ?
> From https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc7232#page-18:
> {code}
> The server generating a 304 response MUST generate any of the
> following header fields that would have been sent in a 200 (OK)
> response to the same request: Cache-Control, Content-Location, Date,
> ETag, Expires, and Vary.
> Since the goal of a 304 response is to minimize information transfer
> when the recipient already has one or more cached representations, a
> sender SHOULD NOT generate representation metadata other than the
> above listed fields unless said metadata exists for the purpose of
> guiding cache updates (e.g., Last-Modified might be useful if the
> response does not have an ETag field).
