Get Browser to send both If-None-Match and If-Modified-Since

Question

My Browser isn't sending back an If-Modified-Since Header for PHP generated Content

on the first request my script sends:

(Status-Line) HTTP/1.1 200 OK
Date Thu, 21 Jan 2010 08:55:25 GMT
Server Apache/2.2.11 (Win32) PHP/5.2.9-1
X-Powered-By PHP/5.2.9-1
Pragma no-cache

Etag b98e0795b509be20146f58e06fbb624f
Keep-Alive timeout=5, max=90

Content-Type image/png

it on the second request it sends:

for other files the sever sends first:

and my browser send the following on the next request:

If-None-Match "1000000013d35-40d9-47be9117f6280"

why would it send the If-Modified-Since header

Hanse

Answer 1

Your first sended header reads "Last-Modfied", which is a typo (the first 'i' in Modified is missing).

...it would be cool, if the browser would send back an If-Modfied-Since ;-) – Atrabilious

Answer 2

can you look if the Last-Modfied inside the first example isn't a typo at the server side
