Stupid discovery of the day, leading to a question: With the Apache server, turning on server parsed HTML turns off the Last-Modified HTTP header. This is annoying, because people like me and Cam use it for some things that don't really change content, like the weblog ads and the color schemes, and therefore it gets in the way of some spiders which use the header information to check for content change. Since I discovered its lack today, I also discovered that you can turn it back on with the option "XBitHack full" and setting the execute bit on the appropriate server parsed files, but I'd hoped to get away from all of that. Anybody know how to make this the default behavior with Apache[Wiki]?
