/**
* The modified date response header is used by the client for content caching. It seems obvious
* that if we have a modified date on the resource we should set it. BUT, because of the
* interaction with max-age we should always set it to the current date if we have max-age The
* problem, is that if we find that a condition GET has an expired mod-date (based on maxAge) then
* we want to respond with content (even if our mod-date hasnt changed. But if we use the actual
* mod-date in that case, then the browser will continue to use the old mod-date, so will forever
* more respond with content. So we send a mod-date of now to ensure that future requests will be
* given a 304 not modified.*
