Patch to FeedUpdater.cs (858 bytes, patch)

Description Peter Johanson 2005-05-06 00:43:52 UTC 
Distribution/Version: Gentoo

After upgrading to mono-1.1.7, all my feeds in blam stopped updating. This
affects both 1.6.1 and CVS.

Tracked it down to a silently caught exception in src/FeedUpdater.cs. Seems that
doing WebRequest.Headers.Add ("If-Modified-Since", foo) is a no-no.

The patch which I'm about to add fixes this, by casting the WebRequest to an
HttpWebRequest and using the IfModifiedSince property. Patch applies to current CVS.

Patch to FeedUpdater.cs

This patch uses the IfModifiedSince property instead of trying to add to the
Header collection.

Thanks, commited to CVS.
