Hmmm.. The patch changed the way that the date headers are parsed (using
the underlying SimpleDateFormat methods so that this class no longer has
the ability to fall out of Y2K compliance) -- and evidently in a way
that is much stricter and which fails in this case because the
if-last-mod header is a superset of a date header...
Note that this behavior will be in the final version of JSDK 2.1 that is
now released. :(
