how to have apache always return code 200 with data instead of 304?

I would like to have Apache HTTPD return response code 200 with data of resource request via a GET instead of returning response code 304 with no data. Any one have an idea how to do that?

Thanks in advance

remove the header, add the following into the httpd.conf file

<FilesMatch "\.(filetype1|filetype2)$">
    RequestHeader unset If-Modified-Since
    RequestHeader unset If-None-Match
</FilesMatch>

Add the following directive to your apache config file

RequestHeader unset If-Modified-Since

This will ignore IF-Modified-Since header sent from client so you will get not 304 Not Modified response.

I'm not sure I fully understand your question. I assume you want the provide a normal HTTP answer if the client uses a correct URL, and a default page (with status 200) when the client uses a non-existing URL.

If this is the case, it can be achieved like that:

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteRule ^.*+ /dummy.html

The first line is a condition that the URL doesn't macht an existing file on the web server. If that condidition holds, the second line is executed which serves a dummy page to the client.

Don't send it any cache-related headers (If-Modified-Since, If-None-Match and friends) when making the request. This informs the server that the client doesn't cache, and makes it always return data.
