#32014 [Bgs->Opn]: Last-Modified is set to PHP file mtime

ID: 32014 Updated by: rasmus@php.net Reported By: ceefour at gauldong dot net -Status: Bogus +Status: Open -Bug Type: Session related +Bug Type: Feature/Change Request Operating System: All PHP Version: 5.0.3 New Comment: It may be expected behaviour, but I would tend to agree with the suggestion that this is a bad idea. Moving to a feature/change request. Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2005-02-18 13:54:13] tony2001@php.net This is expected behaviour, use header("Last-Modified: ..."); to change the default value of this header. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2005-02-18 02:00:43] ceefour at gauldong dot net Description: ------------ When using 'public' or 'private' cache limiter (maybe other cache limiters, except 'nocache'), PHP will output the PHP script's mtime as the Last-Modified header. While this is okay for some purposes, the dynamic nature of PHP scripts make this a bad "feature". It's possible to circumvent this problem by manually sending a header() but IMHO this should never be necessary. My proposal would be to change these affected limiters to either not output Last-Modified or output a current time Last-Modified header using the format date('D, d M Y H:i:s O'). Note that date('r') doesn't work in some cases. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=32014&edit=1
