http://issues.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=38034 ------- Additional Comments From [EMAIL PROTECTED] 2007-12-22 01:52 ------- Additional remark an equivalence of "check for existence" and "check for Etag": I am not familiar with apache programming, so this is based on one assumption. - Apache modules can register their own, specialised ap_make_etag-function, overriding apaches generic ap_make_etag-function. If this assumption is true, it would be perfectly reasonable for a module, to return an etag only if the resource is cacheable, and to return NULL if the resource is not cacheable. So checking for the existance of an etag can not replace the check for existance of the resource. I think a clean, general solution should be in the line of the patch provided by Paritosh Shah. There must also be a clean solution for the potential problems considerd by Paritosh Shah and Chris Darroch. As I understand, a clean solution might possibly change some internal interface and possibly affect other modules. I fully understand that this needs serious consideration and might take some time. If it is therefore not possible to fix this bug in a clean, general way for the next release, I suggest that the next release should fix the bug for mod_dav only (so it will not affect other modules). You might use that ugly, code dublicating monster from me. As soon as a better solution is found, this mod_dav-only patch can be removed without side effects.
