-----------------------------------------
Summary: Improve Handling of HTTP Conditional Requests, Status
Codes and Weak ETags
Key: HTTPCLIENT-2279
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HTTPCLIENT-2279
Project: HttpComponents HttpClient
Issue Type: Improvement
Reporter: Arturo Bernal
Our system currently does not fully support the handling of HTTP conditional
requests and the appropriate status codes as outlined in the HTTP/1.1
specification RFC 9110. There are three main issues to be addressed:
*
Lack of support for the HTTP 412 (Precondition Failed) status code, which
indicates that one or more conditions given in the request header fields
evaluated to false when tested on the server.
* Our system may not check all header fields marked as If-Match or
If-None-Match. According to the specification, all instances of these headers
should be considered.
* The system might not properly handle cases where a weak ETag is used with a
range request.
By addressing these issues, we can improve the robustness of our system and its
compliance with the HTTP specification. This will ensure correct and consistent
behavior, particularly when dealing with conditional requests.
