Jon Moore commented on HTTPCLIENT-1371:
---------------------------------------
I've applied the patch to httpclient-cache, which means it should go out in the
4.3 GA release. I haven't applied the async portion of the patch yet because I
think we need the 4.3 GA release of the synchronous client to go out to avoid
having SNAPSHOT dependencies (since the async patch depends on updates to
CacheConfig). I did review the async patch, which is trivial and obviously fine.
Let me do some more investigation about what to do here; it could be that we
just need to raise an issue on the async client to track this, which will allow
us to close this issue, if you can re-attach your async patch there. Stay tuned.

> RFC2616 explicitly prohibits the use of weak validators in non-GET requests,
> however, the HTTPbis working group says while the limitation for weak
> validators on ranged requests makes sense, weak ETag validation is useful on
> full non-GET requests; e.g., PUT with If-Match. When HTTPbis working group
> publishes a clarification to HTTP/1.1, weak validators will be allow for PUT
> and DELETE requests. HttpClient should make this an config option until
> HTTP/1.1 is officially clarified.
