When a tile expires, it is re-requested. Before this PR, it is always transferred over the network. After this PR, the
If-Modified-Since
header is set in the re-request, so the server can send a 304 Not Modified response if the tile has not been modified, instead of resending the tile.This is primarily intended for use with tiles that have a very short expiration time (<10 seconds). This could be useful when the underlying data is changing rapidly.
