     346<section title="Example: Entity Tags varying on Content-Negotiated Resources" anchor="example.entity.tag.vs.conneg">
     347<t>
     348   Consider a resource that is subject to content negotiation (&content-negotiation;),
     349   and where the representations returned upon a GET request vary based on
     350   the Accept-Encoding request header field (&header-accept-encoding;):
     351</t>
     352<figure><preamble>>> Request:</preamble><artwork type="message/http; msgtype=&#34;request&#34;"  x:indent-with="  ">
     353GET /index HTTP/1.1
     354Host: www.example.com
     355Accept-Encoding: gzip
     356
     357</artwork></figure>
     358<t>
     359   In this case, the response may use the gzip Content Coding or not.
     360   If it does, it might look like that:
     361</t>
     362<figure><preamble>>> Response:</preamble><artwork type="message/http; msgtype=&#34;response&#34;"  x:indent-with="  ">
     363HTTP/1.1 200 OK
     364Date: Thu, 26 Mar 2010 00:05:00 GMT
     365ETag: "123-a"
     366Content-Length: <x:length-of target="exbody"/>
     367Vary: Accept-Encoding
     368Content-Type: text/plain
     369
     370<x:span anchor="exbody">Hello World!
     371Hello World!
     372Hello World!
     373Hello World!
     374Hello World!
     375</x:span></artwork></figure>
     376<t>
     377   A variant that does use gzip Content Coding would be:
     378</t>
     379<figure><preamble>>> Response:</preamble><artwork type="message/http; msgtype=&#34;response&#34;"  x:indent-with="  ">
     380HTTP/1.1 200 OK

     386Content-Encoding: gzip
     387

     389<x:note>
     390  <t>
     391    <x:h>Note:</x:h> Content Codings are a property of the response
     392    entity, thus affect the Entity Tag. An alternative are Transfer
     393    Codings (&transfer-codings;) which apply only to the transfer of
     394    the message, and thus do not require assigning distinct entity tags.
