+Bug#: 65055
+Product: Mono: Class Libraries
+Version: unspecified
+OS: 
+OS Details: paldo unstable (linux 2.6.8.1-upkg1)
+Status: NEW

+Summary: HttpWebRequest.IfModifiedSince and timezone problems
+
+Description of Problem: 
+The following code does not work as desired:
+
+HttpWebResponse wr = (HttpWebResponse) wc.GetResponse ();
+File.SetLastWriteTime (file, wr.LastModified);
+[...]
+wc.IfModifiedSince = File.GetLastWriteTime (file);
+HttpWebResponse wr = (HttpWebResponse) wc.GetResponse ();
+
+Actual Results:
+It always redownloads the file even though the file hasn't changed. The
+problem is that get_IfModifiedSince returns (via MonoHttpDate) a time stamp
+in utc (which is earlier than localtime for Europeans) wheras
+set_IfModifiedSince expects a localtime as it uses ToUniversalTime()
+
+Expected Results:
+Only redownload when the file has really changed. I don't know whether
+IfModifiedSince should be localtime or utc according to ecma/ms but it
+should definitively be consistent.
+
+How often does this happen? 
+Always
+
+Additional Information:
+This happens using mono 1.0.1
