HTTP Last-Modified header not appearing

I can't seem to get HTTP Last-Modified header to appear on GetSchema. Has anyone successfully used that header?

Below is one of my curl attempts.

curl -v -H "If-Modified-Since: Wed, 24 Aug 2011 11:08:08 GMT" http://api.steampowered.com/ITFItems_440/GetSchema/v0001/?key=<MY_KEY>&language=en

Looks like it only support IEconItems, not ITFItems. (By the way, I only just realised why curl keeps running in the background like that. Stupid ampersand.) -- Netshroud (talk | contribs) 23:43, 24 August 2011 (PDT)

Woah, cool! I didn't even know IEconItems existed... when did this happen, and why? Is ITFItems deprecated? VMDX 23:59, 24 August 2011 (PDT)

IEconItems launched with Portal 2. ITFItems isn't deprecated as far as I know, but no new root fields (e.g. particle names, items_game URL) are added to it. I'm not sure about subfields, the ITFItems might have a frozen structure, but I don't know. -- Netshroud (talk | contribs) 00:12, 25 August 2011 (PDT)

It is deprecated. Assume it will stop working at any time. This is why I don't maintain it's documentation anymore. -- Lagg 10:23, 25 August 2011 (PDT)

Ah, I see. Thanks so much for your help :) VMDX 00:14, 25 August 2011 (PDT)

Norwegian (no)

The Norwegian (no) language does not seem to work. It instead returns data as if there is no language variable sent. All other random two letter combinations returns english.
