When we create a HttpConnection then we can call the setRequestProperty method and we can pass as its parameter (“If-Modified-Since”,”7 Sep 2005 19:43:31 GMT”) for example.
I want to know when do we use the “If-Modified-Since” parameter , and what is its goal ?
The If-Modified-Since HTTP header requests that the server not bother to return the requested resource unless it has been modified since the specified date. If the resource has not been modified, a complying server would return a 304 (not modified) status instead.
See RFC 2616 for details, particularly section 14.25.
