Can't use If-Modified-Since with http://nginx.org/en/CHANGES

[Bruno Bigras]

I'm not sure it it's a bug. And it's a minor thing so you may not care about it.

I'm trying to track ​http://nginx.org/en/CHANGES to be notified when there's a new release (an RSS feed would be nice) and I'm saving Last-Modified and the ETag expecting to get a '304 not modified' on the next fetch and save a tiny bit of bandwitdh.

Today if I run 'curl -I ​http://nginx.org/en/CHANGES' multiple times I get two differents Last-Modified and etag so I can't use 'If-Modified-Since' and 'If-None-Match'.

JFYI, there is an RSS feed for news: ​http://nginx.org/index.rss

And there is a full history available in the mercurial repo (with rss feed as well):

​http://hg.nginx.org/nginx/log/tip/docs/xml/nginx/changes.xml

and all commits to nginx go to nginx-devel maillist:

​http://mailman.nginx.org/mailman/listinfo/nginx-devel

Thanks for the rss feeds guys. I'll use them instead.

You can close this ticket if you want.
