cache should use both Last-Modified and ETag for validations when available
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Key: HTTPCLIENT-998
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HTTPCLIENT-998
Project: HttpComponents HttpClient
Issue Type: Improvement
Components: Cache
Affects Versions: 4.1 Alpha2
Reporter: Jonathan Moore
Attachments: use-all-validators.patch
This is a protocol recommendation:
"[HTTP/1.1 clients], if both an entity tag and a Last-Modified value have been
provided by the origin server, SHOULD use both validators in cache-conditional
requests. This allows both HTTP/1.0 and HTTP/1.1 caches to respond
appropriately."
http://www.w3.org/Protocols/rfc2616/rfc2616-sec13.html#sec13.3.4
The current implementation only uses the ETag when conditionally validating an
entry, so HTTP/1.0 caches can't currently reply to us with a 304 (Not
Modified), even if that would be appropriate.
