CirrostratusHi Paul,
Is that an actual example request? If so, does the client actually send a cookie with a name of LastAccessed? The cookie looks a bit odd, as spaces should be percent encoded per the HTTP RFC's.
Anyhow, you could use HTTP::cookie (Click here) to parse the cookie value, HTTP::header (Click here) to get the If-Modified-Since header value, getfield (Click here) to parse up to the semi-colon, clock scan (Click here) to convert the two timestamps to unix time and then expr (Click here) compare the two. You can use HTTP::respond (Click here) to send a 304 response.
