coding needs to conform to the spec's requirement for [weak]opaque-tag
entity-tag = [ weak ] opaque-tag
weak = "W/"
opaque-tag = quoted-string
A "strong entity tag" MAY be shared by two entities of a resource
only if they are equivalent by octet equality.(i interpret this as byte for
byte equivalence)
A "weak entity tag," indicated by the "W/" prefix, MAY be shared by
two entities of a resource only if the entities are equivalent and
could be substituted for each other with no significant change in
semantics. A weak entity tag can only be used for weak comparison.
E-Tags are generally used for transmission of sizable resources such as
blobs/jpgs
