  String modDate = "Fri, 14 Mar 2003 05:21:29 GMT";

  if (modDate.length() > 0)
  {
    String header = request.getHeader("If-Modified-Since");
    // (header != null) && header.equals(modDate)
    if (modDate.equals(header))
    {
      response.sendError(HttpServletResponse.SC_NOT_MODIFIED);
    }
    else
    {
      response.setHeader("Last-Modified", modDate);
    }
  }
%>
