(i) This issue has been manually transferred from a former internal repository, as a private repository issue cannot be transferred to a public repository.

Context

Follow up of #1193:

Goal is to describe/clarify the usage of ETags for:

cache management

  • good match for strong/weak etags
  • Care should be taken, which headers, embedding, etc are part of the ETag calculation

concurrency control

  • might not be suitable, due to strong ETags being constraint to the entity's representation and not to it's logical state
  • Problems with intermediate proxies, that convert strong to weak ETags
  • Introduction of a separate token as an alternative

Reference

Details can be found in the discussion of #1193.
