> Key: SHINDIG-1350

> Project: Shindig
> Issue Type: New Feature
> Components: Java
> Reporter: John Hjelmstad
> Assignee: Vikas Arora
>
> Shindig's services do not utilize ETags.
> The primary rationale has been that the gadgets/OpenSocial environment
> largely involves tightly controlled URLs. For instance, server-generated
> proxy URLs may contain a v=<version> parameter, in the (accurate) presence of
> which a resource is served with a 1-year cache.
> However, the proxy in particular is often used in situations where URLs are
> not server-generated. The most obvious example is
> gadgets.io.getProxyUrl(...). Supporting ETags for these seems quite sensible,
> as it would save bandwidth.
> Further, due to the buffered nature of Shindig's HTTP Fetcher pipeline, and
> the fact that Version information is available through the
> UriManager.Versioner pattern, it would be trivial to support this
> functionality.
