Question

I want to make something like this:

if (isset($_SERVER['HTTP_IF_MODIFIED_SINCE'])) {
    header('HTTP/1.1 304 Not Modified');
    exit;
}

...... other code .....

typing to do it this way:

public function imageAction()
{
    $request = $this->getRequest();
    $response = $this->getResponse();
    if ($request->getHeader('IF_MODIFIED_SINCE')) {
        $response->setHttpResponseCode(304);
        return;
    }
    var_dump($request->getHeaders());
    $response->setHeader('Last-Modified', gmdate('D, d M Y H:i:s', time()).' GMT');
    var_dump($response->getHeaders());
    echo '11111';
    exit;

Hope result readers must be like

> X-Powered-By: PHP/5.3.7RC2-dev
> Last-Modified: Thu, 07 Jul 2011

but it is always :

or I must use zend_cache?

It seems to be working fine. Try these two actions to test. You’ll need to set your domain name in place of ‘yourdomain‘ below.

public function headerAction()
{
    $response = $this->getResponse();
    $request = $this->getRequest();

    if ($request->getHeader('IF-MODIFIED-SINCE')) {
        $response->setHttpResponseCode(304);           

        return;
    }

    $response->setHeader('Pragma', 'public', true);
    $response->setHeader('Cache-control', 'max-age=' . 60*60*24*14, true);
    $response->setHeader('Last_Modified', gmdate('D, d M Y H:i:s', time()).' GMT', true);

    // don't exit or die here or Zend Framework won't send our $response or headers
    // If you don't want to render a script, uncomment the two lines below
    //        $this->_helper->viewRenderer->setNoRender();
    //        $this->_helper->layout->disableLayout();

}

public function clientAction()
{
    $client = new Zend_Http_Client('http://yourdomain/test/header');
    $client->setHeaders('If-Modified-Since', 'Sat, 29 Oct 1994 19:43:31 GMT');
    $response = $client->request();

    Zend_Debug::dump($response->getStatus()); //prints 304
    Zend_Debug::dump($response->getHeaders());

    exit;    
}
