Start from emacs -Q .

1. Install debbugs (http://elpa.gnu.org/packages/debbugs.html)
2. Enable url-automatic-caching
3. M-x debbugs-gnu-search RET change-group RET

This should pop-up some results in a new buffer.  Now hit RET
(debbugs-gnu-select-report) on one of them, which will popup a gnus
buffer displaying the related articles.  Close that buffer via q
(gnus-summary-exit).  Back in the debbugs buffer, hit RET again, which
will lead to the following (abbreviated) backtrace.

Debugger entered--Lisp error: (file-error "http://debbugs.gnu.org/cgi/bugreport.cgi?bug=23906;mboxmaint=yes;mboxstat=yes" "Not modified")

I think url-insert-file-contents should not raise an error when the
status code is 304, because it just means that the result comes from the
cache, instead of the server.
