|
||
<p>For GET and HEAD methods, the server will send back the requested
|
||
resource only if it matches one of the listed ETags. For PUT and other
|
||
non-safe methods, it will only upload the resource in this case.</p>
|
||
<p>The comparison with the stored ETag uses the strong comparison
|
||
algorithm, meaning two files are considered identical byte to byte only.
|
||
This is weakened when the W/ prefix is used in front of the ETag.</p>
|
||
<p>There are two common use cases:</p>
|
||
<ul>
|
||
<li>
|
||
<p>For GET and HEAD methods, used in combination with an Range header, it
|
||
can guarantee that the new ranges requested comes from the same resource
|
||
than the previous one. If it doesn't match, then a 416 (Range Not
|
||
Satisfiable) response is returned.</p>
|
||
</li>
|
||
<li>
|
||
<p>For other methods, and in particular for PUT, If-Match can be used to
|
||
prevent the lost update problem. It can check if the modification of a
|
||
resource that the user wants to upload will not override another change
|
||
that has been done since the original resource was fetched. If the
|
||
request cannot be fulfilled, the 412 (Precondition Failed) response is
|
||
returned.</p>
|
||
</li>

</ul>
