This code, dating back to 2005, doesn't seem to serve any purpose at this
time. The `Date` header is actually required on all responses, and will be
provided by the server. This is the only place in the code base where the
`Date` header is used.

This is documented behavior, but I think it can be removed without a
deprecation cycle since any affected response will continue to have a
`Date` header set by the server.
