Force last-modified with SSI enabled?

Server NGINX
1

Is there a way to get nginx to send a last-modified of the “master”
object
when SSI is enabled outside of the: add_header Last-Modified “blah”
directive? Open to any and all work arounds.

Thanks in advance.

Sorry that it’s completely different of what you expect but I offer to
not use it at all in this case.

My workaround is to send Expires header and Cache-Control: max-age.
IMO this is good enough without making complicated work to answer with
“last modified”.

Or send real “old one” like Facebook does:

There is no good in sending “actual” last modified timestamp to client.
It was designed to make intellectual caching but only makes things
confusing.

Will browsers send an If-Modified when an Expires is set? Hm … need to
take
a look.

Looks like browsers won’t send If-Modified-Since unless a Last-Modified
is
set :frowning:

Will look at using Apache for this particular sub-set of content.
