"Does Freeola support If-Modified-Since HTTP header"

Im trying to find out if Freeola supports "If-Modified-Since HTTP header"
If i have this, google will see new changes to my site. If anyone could help with this topic It will be greatly appreciated.

Thankyou very much for your help. Very useful.

Well its on my default in Apache and I think its unlikely Freeola would turn it off.

Google will see changes regardless. "If-Modified-Since" is essentially a bandwidth saving feature. If the server receives that header and no changes have been made to the requested file since the date then it'll just return 304 (Not Modified). Thats all it does. Without it, google will just compare content itself as it does with dynamic pages.

And I should point out the above only applies to static pages that Apache handles. If you're talking about dynamic pages (like PHP) then you have to do all the header handling yourself anyway.
