| Summary | 0008492: better ETAG for /terms | ||||
| Description | current etag is "exchange-tos-v0" etag should have * version number * mime-type * lang then when a request is made,if the client request header $LANG and $MIMETYPE does not match the etag (of the request) the server knows that it should respond with body content. alternative: etag = md5(content) where content is defined with lang and mime-type (and server tos version) problem today: if the client send a request with an etag and the etag correspond to the current server version then the exchange has no way to know that that etag is not correct given the $LANG and $TYPE of the current request | ||||
| Tags | No tags attached. | ||||

No, you are doing etags wrong. We will NOT do that. The etag must NOT encode the things you propose, that breaks our design. |
|
|
If a client requires the /terms in another language/encoding, they should just request it and force-bypass the cache. Done. Etags are about the legal semantics, which *legal* version you have accepted. |
