Learn REST: A Tutorial Meemoo hackable web apps | Meemoo project by Forrest Oliphant HTTP ETag The ETag or entity tag is part of HTTP, the protocol for the World Wide Web. It is one of several mechanisms that HTTP provides for web cache validation, and which allows a client to make conditional requests. This allows caches to be more efficient, and saves bandwidth, as a web server does not need to send a full response if the content has not changed. ETags can also be used for optimistic concurrency control,[1] as a way to help prevent simultaneous updates of a resource from overwriting each other. Deployment risks[edit] The use of ETags in the HTTP header is optional (not mandatory as with some other fields of the HTTP 1.1 header). Common methods of ETag generation include using a collision-resistant hash function of the resource's content, a hash of the last modification timestamp, or even just a revision number. In order to avoid the use of stale cache data, methods used to generate ETags should guarantee (as much as is practical) that each ETag is unique. Typical usage[edit]
