RSS Feeds should contain status code 304 when content has not changed

      NOTE: This suggestion is for JIRA Server. Using JIRA Cloud? See the corresponding suggestion.

      RSS Feeds should send a 304 HTTP status and an empty body when the client sends an 'If-Modified-Since' header and the feed has not changed since the time specified.

      Used technique defined in RFC2616 for sending the correct string for the If-Modified-Since header:

      To get best results when sending an If-Modified-Since header field
      for cache validation, clients are advised to use the exact date
      string received in a previous Last-Modified header field whenever
      possible.

      Currently, JIRA always seems to send a 200 OK and the RSS feed as its body.

      Filed this issue under Issue navigator because the RSS GET URL contains a call to IssueNavigator.jspa.
