[jira] Commented: (FELIX-659) Should lastModified() from "bundle:" URLs return JarEntry.getTime() instead of Bundle.getLastModified()

Rob Walker commented on FELIX-659:
----------------------------------

This would also help the HttpService in returning resource modification timestamps to aid in browser and proxy caching.

With FELIX-407, the HttpService now sets modification timestamps, but it relies on the getLastModified() call of the URLConnection where these are bundle resources.

> Currently, we return Bundle.getLastModified() for the last modified time of bundle resource URLs with the protocol "bundle:". It might even be better if we returned JarEntry.getTime() to get the actual last modified time of the JAR entry instead. However, this is somewhat complicated since we don't expose this information to the upper layers. This would need to be included in our abstraction, especially since bundles do not have to be JAR files. It is not clear if this would have any significant overhead penalty, but I think not since the JAR file would most likely already be open.
