Phorum 5 (5.1.10 through 5.1.14) does not send "last-modified" HTTP header #328

Phorum does not set the "last modified" HTTP header on any pages (index or messages). This effectively prevents google (yahoo, etc.) from re-spidering the phorum, since after the first access they incorrectly believe that they have the most current version of the page.

Even the phorum on http://www.phorum.org doesn't send the last modified header... observe:

C:\download\lynx>c:\download\lynx\lynx -mime_header http://www.phorum.org/phorum 5/ HTTP/1.1 200 OK Date: Fri, 07 Jul 2006 16:26:39 GMT Server: Apache/1.3.34 (Unix) PHP/5.1.4 X-Powered-By: PHP/5.1.4 Connection: close Content-Type: text/html; charset=utf-8

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="iso-8859-1"?><!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XH TML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">

(rest of page deleted; not important...)

That sounds like a good module for those that are worried about that. Phorum has never sent a last modified header. I personally have had no trouble with Google spidering my site's Phorum installs. They update quite frequently.

Kind of changing my mind on this. This is not a module. The application should do it.
