That is pretty useless. It is almost impossible to download a page
that is beng modified at the exact moment that it is being downloaded,
so you will always get a 304 reply and never the actual data. You
should be specifying an older date/time, such as when you were able to
last download the data, otherwise checking for 'if-modified-since' is
meaningless.

TIdHTTP raises an EIdHTTPProtocolException when a 304 is received, so
you could alternatively check for that, ie:
except on E : EIdHTTPProtocolException do begin
if E.ReplyErrorCode = 304 then begin
