How to get it working is dependant on your server. I you want to do it 
in the generation of the pages search your skin files for 
document.write("Last Published: " + document.lastModified);

You could change the way this is generated, perhaps taking a value from 
skinconf. Not ideal as you will have to update skinconf each time you 
published, but at leat it would work if you can't get the last-modified 
header.

That would be superb, if you can then put a patch on our issue tracker, 
see http://forrest.apache.org/0.7/contrib.html#patch. If you can't 
provide a patch comments on the issue will help.
