What headers do I want to send together with a 304 response?

When I send a 304 response. How will the browser interpret other headers which I send together with the 304?

" GMT"); Will this make sure the browser will not send another conditional GET request (nor any request) until $offset...

mod_deflate on apache causing browser to do a 200 instead of 304?
