> Key: HTTPCLIENT-1469
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HTTPCLIENT-1469
> Project: HttpComponents HttpClient
> Issue Type: New Feature
> Components: HttpCache
> Affects Versions: 4.3.2
> Reporter: James Leigh
> Priority: Minor
> Labels: patch
> Fix For: 4.3.3

> The draft of the revised HTTP/1.1 (should be RFC'd shortly) says other response header can be included in 304 responses if they exists for the purpose of guiding cache updates.
> http://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-ietf-httpbis-p4-conditional-26#section-4.1
> The server generating a 304 response MUST generate any of the
> following header fields that would have been sent in a 200 (OK)
> response to the same request: Cache-Control, Content-Location, Date,
> ETag, Expires, and Vary.
> Since the goal of a 304 response is to minimize information transfer
> when the recipient already has one or more cached representations, a
> sender SHOULD NOT generate representation metadata other than the
> above listed fields unless said metadata exists for the purpose of
> guiding cache updates (e.g., Last-Modified might be useful if the
> response does not have an ETag field).
> This issue is to make it possible to include Last-Modified in a cached 304 response.
