> Let _list generate its own Etag
> -------------------------------
>
> Key: COUCHDB-1555
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/COUCHDB-1555
> Project: CouchDB
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: View Server Support
> Affects Versions: 1.2, 1.3
> Reporter: Stephane Alnet
>
> As described in COUCHDB-1155, if a _list function generates dynamic content
> that is not idempotent with regards to the parameters used by to generate the
> Etag, there is no valid way for that function to specify an alternate Etag.
> The present request is to allow such functions to either (a) send back an
> Etag header which will supersede the Etag header computed by the view server
> and will be used as the opaque Etag string of RFC2616 section 3.11 [1], or
> (b) allow the function to send back some value that will be combined with the
> other (existing) Etag parameters to compute the Etag header, or (c) send back
> a flag indicating that the Etag header should be computed based on the output
> of the function, not the regular Etag parameters.
