Conditional GET Header If-Modified-Since only results in proper 304 response if value is equal to Last-Modified

[GoogleCodeExporter]

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Make a GET request to Minify with a If-Modified-Since header > Last-Modified

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?

According to the W3C spec:
>If the variant has not been modified since a valid If-Modified-Since date,
the server SHOULD return a 304 (Not Modified) response.
http://www.w3.org/Protocols/rfc2616/rfc2616-sec14.html#sec14.25

The expected response is a 304 status code.

Instead, a 200 OK (along with the requested body) is returned.

Attached is a patch to get the expected behavior
