@knishkagithub , not sure if you got a notification about @bourgeoa assigning this issue to you but all yours now. Thanks!
@knishkagithub just wondering how you're getting on with this, as it's been 6 months. Need any help?
Hi, since there's been no activity for 6 months, would it be okay if I take this over? Happy to wait a bit for a reply, but wanted to check in case the original assignee has moved on. Thanks!

So, the implementation should only expose the
Last-Modifiedheader when access is granted to the request target, i.e., when user or public has Read access to the resource. This is typically aligned with the 200 response.
