don't do that.  use the $r->set_etag method instead, which is probably a
bit safer than trying to figure out Etag rules yourself.  I'm pretty
sure that you shouldn't use the Etag header with non-static entities
anyway, but I could be wrong.

Why not? I'm sending images stored in a database.

$r->set_etag doesn't seem to work, it wants to be called as Apache::set_etag ()

Another thing, what sort of data should I pass to update_mtime? It complains:

Argument "2002-10-25 19:41:14.046993" isn't numeric in entersub at...

Why can't I find these methods in the Apache and Apache::Request manpages? Should I be looking elsewhere?

Thanks,
