Description Jochen Wiedmann 2005-02-18 17:04:10 UTC 
Hi,

files being created by the ExpandWar class have the creation date as the
lastModified attribute. This makes a proper cache handling quite difficult,
because the if-modified-since header increases after deploying, even if the
files in question haven't changed.

The attached simple patch changes the behaviour. It would be nice, if the patch
could be accepted at least as a configurable option. If so, I'd be ready to work
on more details and supply a larger patch later on.

Regards,

Jochen
