Issue: 304-LAST-MODIFIED (Should 304 include Last Modified?)

Summary of Discussion:

The Last-Mofidied header is not needed in a 304 response. If-Modified-Since
can only carry a single date entry (typically provided as a Last-Modified
header) and hence a 304 response will always validate that particular
object. It would therefore be redundant to require that the server returns
a Last-Modified header.

Suggested Solution:

No changes
