Description

The current state of last-modified is broken by design.

Furthermore it is the question if we should support this properly at all in the future, since well, the whole page has to be rendered anyway to find out if it 'was-modified-since' so there is no benefit on server side (and not on client side either). Supporting that would also mean that we need to track/hash basically everything, so it would be a really evil cross-cutting-concern that affects extensions, content, files, everything.

A document is added to this issue explaining the whole situation

[BUGFIX] Last-Modified response header broken by design

The Last-Modifed header needs to change whenever there is a change
related to that page. Not only the page properties or records located
on that page, but every change which should be reflected on that page,
like menus, TypoScript or layout. Currently this is not happening and
has huge impact to make it work.

This patch removes the Last-Modified response header. The ETag response
header has kind of the same function, so no harm is done by deleting
Last-Modified.
