7046	ConditionalGetMiddleware doesn't set response code properly	DOP	nobody	"Just noticed that If-None-Match request doesn't really work even though ConditionalGetMiddleware is enabled and the response has ETag matching If-None-Match header in the request.

This is from django/middleware/http.py:

{{{
        if response.has_header('ETag'):
            if_none_match = request.META.get('HTTP_IF_NONE_MATCH', None)
            if if_none_match == response['ETag']:
...
                response.status = 304

        if response.has_header('Last-Modified'):
            if_modified_since = request.META.get('HTTP_IF_MODIFIED_SINCE', None)
            if if_modified_since == response['Last-Modified']:
...
                response.status = 304
}}}
Shouldn't it be response.status_code = 304?
