HTTP uses GMT [1,2] rather than UTC as timezone for timestamps. However,
the Last-Modified header used UTC which confused at least wget.
Before, UTC was used:
$ wget --no-check-certificate -S --spider https://cb_pages_tests.localhost.mock.directory:4430/images/827679288a.jpg
...
Last-Modified: Sun, 11 Sep 2022 08:37:42 UTC
...
Last-modified header invalid -- time-stamp ignored.
...
After, GMT is used:
$ wget --no-check-certificate -S --spider https://cb_pages_tests.localhost.mock.directory:4430/images/827679288a.jpg
...
Last-Modified: Sun, 11 Sep 2022 08:37:42 GMT
...
(no last-modified-header-invalid warning)

Whatt I noticed is that the If-Modified-Since header isn't accepted (neither with GMT nor with UTC):
```
$ wget --header "If-Modified-Since: Sun, 11 Sep 2022 08:37:42 GMT" --no-check-certificate -S --spider https://cb_pages_tests.localhost.mock.directory:4430/images/827679288a.jpg
Spider mode enabled. Check if remote file exists.

I would have expected a 304 (Not Modified) rather than a 200 (OK). I assume this is simply not supported and on production 304 is returned by a caching proxy in front of pages-server.

we have big functions that handle all stuff ... we should split this into smaler chuncks so we could test them seperate and make clear cuts in what happens where
