Had the mail in response to Dan open the whole testing and spooted your
mail after i send.

I checked the lighttpd behaviour again:

1. try:
Last-Modified: Mon, 12 Oct 2009 13:39:50 GMT

a touch on the file later on 2. try:
Last-Modified: Mon, 12 Oct 2009 14:41:48 GMT

Looks sane.

Might be that lighttpd headers are distinct from apache httpd. The only
change is that lighttpd sends the local time header "Date" after the
"Last-Modified" header. Could it be a bug regarding ordering of Header
lines in libfetch?

Have no gdb ready on this box, but will look into it some more tomorrow
when i get to it.
