#116 closed design (fixed)

Weak ETags on non-GET requests

Reported by: mnot@… Owned by: julian.reschke@…
Priority: urgent Milestone: 08
Component: p4-conditional Severity: Active WG Document

Description

RFC2616 limits the use of weak ETags to full (non-subrange) GET requests.

While the limitation on ranged requests makes sense, weak ETag validation is useful on full non-GET requests; e.g., PUT with If-Match.
