Missing in 1.5.x:

Description

mod_expire sets Cache-Control: max-age= to the configured interval, and not to the actual stamp.

According to rfc2616, max-age overrides Expires:, and in effect the 'modification' directive turns to 'access'

All tested browsers (IE,Opera,FF,Chrome) comply with the RFC.

Discovered while trying to serve images that change 4 times/day at known moments.

The attached patch shoudt fix this.
