How would you like that to be configured? Option #1: <browser:resource/resourceDirectory etags="off" /> ? Option #2: getMultiAdapter((resource, request), IETag).computeETag() ? This is maybe a bit problematic, because the actual File object that contains all the data--such as filename--doesn't implement any interfaces. And neither does FileResource. > There's some information about issues with ETags here: > > http://developer.yahoo.com/performance/rules.html#etags > > I see that your implementation uses last-modified + size, which should > generally be fine.
