Conditional GET still sends data after 304 Not Modified

Description

If Wordpress determines that the output has not changed since the last update, it does generate a "304 Not Modified" response - but it still sends the data, defeating the purpose and wasting bandwidth.

Tried the suggested move of the exit out of ifs and it works right. Only problem I still see is that Last-Modified date is compared exact and not relative. This only works if clients send in the content of the Last-Modified header they received from the server with their If-Modified-Since header. If they use a system date of the stored (cached) file, they will often send in slightly different dates and exact matching won't work. So to really gain from the Last-Modified header, you would need to use relative comparison.
