django.views.decorators.http.condition decorator

[Anton Novosyolov]

I have a question about this part:

elif (not if_none_match and request.method == "GET" and res_last_modified and if_modified_since and res_last_modified <= if_modified_since): response = HttpResponseNotModified()

If I don't use etag, and request method is HEAD then 200 is returned.

Some sites for checking 304 status (e.g. http://last-modified.com/en/ ) use HEAD for checking.

I'm not an http caching expert, but what you say seems right. Want to open a ticket?
