archive.json emits an updated Last-Modified whenever threads.json is updated even though the archive contents are unmodified.

This generates unnecessary bandwidth for those relying on Last-Modified from If-Modified-Since which the API rules states to use.

This should be fixed now.

Although there will still be some rare cases where archive.json is regenerated even though the archives didn't change.

Thanks for the quick response. Yeah it seems to be working fine now.
