Oops, this was not intended. The problem here is that for non-HTTP
objects, the 'lastmod' time is the same as the 'lastvalid' time so we
can't calculate the Last-Modified-Factor. So I think the patch below
is needed.

Note that sometimes we can get real last-modified times for FTP objects
if the FTP server supports the MDTM command.
