Description

Hi, some RSS readers cannot update the latest post because of the Last-Modified header not shown in Django version < 1.5. I find Django1.5 has fix this issue. Can you also make this in Django1.4(or even 1.3)?

Please refer to the code below:

class Feed(object):

...
def call(self, request, *args, kwargs):

try:

obj = self.get_object(request, *args, kwargs)

except ObjectDoesNotExist:

raise Http404('Feed object does not exist.')

feedgen = self.get_feed(obj, request)
response = HttpResponse(mimetype=feedgen.mime_type)
if hasattr(self, 'item_pubdate'):

# if item_pubdate is defined for the feed, set header so as
# ConditionalGetMiddleware is able to send 304 NOT MODIFIED
responseLast-Modified = http_date(

timegm(feedgen.latest_post_date().utctimetuple()))

feedgen.write(response, 'utf-8')
return response

Hi, Django 1.4 only receives only security updates. I doubt this feature will be back-ported. The ticket referenced while implementing the requested features seems to be #7936.
