---------------------------------------
Summary: Weak ETag Validation is Useful On PUT With If-Match
Key: HTTPCLIENT-1371
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HTTPCLIENT-1371
Project: HttpComponents HttpClient
Issue Type: Improvement
Components: CacheHttpClient Caching components
Affects Versions: 4.3 Beta2
Reporter: James Leigh
Fix For: 4.3 Beta3
RFC2616 explicitly prohibits the use of weak validators in non-GET requests,
however, the HTTPbis working group says while the limitation for weak
validators on ranged requests makes sense, weak ETag validation is useful on
full non-GET requests; e.g., PUT with If-Match. When HTTPbis working group
publishes a clarification to HTTP/1.1, weak validators will be allow for PUT
and DELETE requests. HttpClient should make this an config option until
HTTP/1.1 is officially clarified.
