Re: [Bug-wget] Conditional GET requests

[Hubert Tarasiuk]

I have reworked my patches. Specifically:
1) --if-modified-since option is enabled by default and has only effect
in timestamping mode. And yes, --no-if-modified-since is added
automatically.
2) I added all legal date formats to my test.
3) I added another case to my test (local file is strictly newer than
remote file).
3) If time_to_rfc1123 fails, there is simple fall back behavior.
4) I added work around behavior for servers ignoring If-Modified-Since
(like for example our Perl test server).

Patches are attached here as well as on Github for easy viewing.
