2001-05-30 If-None-Match etag queries On cache misses for varying object If-None-Match is now used to query the origin server which (if any) of the caced entities matches the request. 2001-05-30 If-None-Match cache validation If-None-Match is now used on cache validations, using the entity tag of the exact object being validated. This ensures that even sub-second updates are detected properly, and cache validation is now less time sensitive. its done it for a long time :) -Rob _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~launchpad-dev Post to : [email protected] Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~launchpad-dev More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
