Domino R5 HTTP-304 returned in error?

[Cedric]

Using Domino r5.01 and a web spider, the web spider sends request with HTTP header field &quot;If-Modified-Since&quot; set to &quot;Thu, 01 Jan 1970 00:00:01&quot; and the domino server responds with:<br>
<br>
304 Not Modified Last-Modified: Mon, 20 Mar 2000 09:04:24 <br>
GMT. Expires: Mon, 20 Mar 2000 09:04:24 GMT.<br>
<br>
Now, either I'm not understanding RFC 2068 (HTTP 1.1) or Lotus Domino server has a bug. I tried this against their website (<A HREF="

running domino 5.02c) and it gave the same response, file was modified today, but HTTP 304, Not Modified since jan 1st, 1970.<br>

All details trapped using an ethernet packet sniffer. Ideas anyone?<br>
