Bug Description
When downloading a single file from a repository, the Last-Modified header is missing.
Try for example here and click the download link on that page:
http://
The missing Last-Modified header means that the downloaded file will have the date when downloading was done, not when the file was modified in the repository.

Can it? What is the scenario where you're relying on this behavior?

They may for example downlad a file from a certain revision on the web
interface and try to find out if those files are newer or older than
those they have got from for example a zip file they downloaded
elsewhere.
I would expect that it is easy to fix this problem on the server side.
Is there anything that stops you from doing this?

Uhum, why is sett ing the wrong date on versioned file of low importance? Can't it screw up things quite a bit on the users side?
