Detailed Description

This is a parser for "HTTP-date" as defined by RFC 7231.

Normally in MediaWiki, dates in HTTP headers are converted using ConvertibleTimestamp or strtotime(), and this is encouraged by RFC 7231:

"Recipients of timestamp values are encouraged to be robust in parsing timestamps unless otherwise restricted by the field definition."

In the case of If-Modified-Since, we are in fact otherwise restricted, since RFC 7232 says:

"A recipient MUST ignore the If-Modified-Since header field if the received field-value is not a valid HTTP-date"

So it is not correct to use strtotime() or ConvertibleTimestamp to parse If-Modified-Since.
