The point why I'm sending those headers manually is because in this particular case I'm generating an image and redirect to it (with a location-header). But if the User already has that image in it's cache, I just wanna send a 304, so that there's no redirect and thus less requests.

Hi, Luke,

Yes, I already looked at the link before I replied previously.  My 
comments haven't changed.
