Hello,

I was viewing your source code, and found a potential "bug." The following
code:

if ($_SERVER["HTTP_IF_MODIFIED_SINCE"] == $tsstring){

should be changed to:

if (strstr($_SERVER["HTTP_IF_MODIFIED_SINCE"], $tsstring)){

Your implementation will work fine with NS, but IE (I am using version 6)
sends a header like this:

If-Modified-Since: Fri, 12 Jul 2002 05:08:03 GMT; length=4192

Regards,

Shannon Johnson

a clear violation of RFC2616 14.25 on behalf of M$

Indeed, a violation of the RFC, marking as bogus as it's actually a bug in IE.
