module Responders
  # Set HTTP Last-Modified headers based on the given resource. It's used only
  # on API behavior (to_format) and is useful for a client to check in the server
  # if a resource changed after a specific date or not.
  #
  # This is not usually not used in html requests because pages contains a lot
  # information besides the resource information, as current_user, flash messages,
  # widgets... that are better handled with other strategies, as fragment caches and
  # the digest of the body.
