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)

2011.9.11.10.31 - 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. — The preceding unsigned comment was added by Zeros (talk) • (contribs) 15:20, 11 September 2011

2011.9.11.13.14 - Tested this with the Team Fortress 2 Public Beta gameID and it shows up correctly. Perhaps this is something that will be added in the near future. — The preceding unsigned comment was added by Zeros (talk) • (contribs) 17:15, 11 September 2011
