Jody,
The "Last-Modified" header is not a header in the request. The HTTP/1.1
spec identifies the various standard headers: "Last-modified" is neither a
method of the request or the response. You do find a "Last-modified" header
associated with http entities which may or may not map to the entire
response.
It's easy to get confused as the request does have an "If-modified" header
which requests that updated information only be sent if the server
identifies the page as having been modified since the date provided in the
request. Otherwise, the browser will load from cache. However, JSP pages,
because they are usually dynamically generated, don't really respond well to
this header (I suppose a clever server could do something useful with this,
but I don't believe there are any that clever as of today.)
As far as I know, there is no easy way to obtain this information (I'd be
interested in any info other's can provide.)

ok,
Tried it and am getting thr following errors:
500 Servlet Exception
/aflit/index.jsp:131: Invalid type expression.
request.getHeader("Last-Modified")_jsp_raw_out.write(_jsp_string1, 0,
_jsp_string1.length);
^
/aflit/index.jsp:131: Invalid declaration.
request.getHeader("Last-Modified")_jsp_raw_out.write(_jsp_string1, 0,
_jsp_string1.length);
^
2 errors
Here's what I put in the code:
<%request.getHeader("Last-Modified")%>
Thanks, I'm feeling dumber by the minute today...eh
