Hi!
I can't get the if-modified-since header to work with jquery ajax.
I tried to fet an xml like this:
$.get("url", function(xml){
//Do something with response.
}, "xml");
On these requests the if-modified-since is not set.
Then I tried like this:
$.ajax({
type: "GET",
url: "url",
dataType: "xml",
complete: function(XMLHttpRequest, textStatus){
},
ifModified: true,
cache: true
});
This cause the if-modified-since to be set to: Thu, 01 Jan 1970
00:00:00 GMT
If I just load the url in the browser directly the headers are set
correctly and the server can return a 304.
These are the request headers:
Host localhost:8080
User-Agent Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 6.1; en-US; rv:1.9.1.5)

utmcmd=(none); re_ret=0; re_ses=UQskC-7167631552; re_ses_indx=2;
position=57.717%2C11.967%2C11
And here are the response headers:
Server Development/1.0

Content-Type text/xml

Why does not jquery ajax set the correct if-modifed-since header?
