But, that'll break caches as we're not allowed to serve If-Match with weak entity tags. Feh. -1 on adding semantic junk to the existing ETag (and keeping it strong); that's blatantly uncool. Any generated ETag from mod_deflate should either be the original strong version or a weak version of any previous etag. mod_deflate by *definition* is just creating a weak version of the prior entity. mod_deflate does properly stick in the Vary header, so caches already have enough knowledge to know what's going on anyway even without a fix. (This is probably why mod_cache doesn't flag it as an error.) My opinion is to fix the protocol and move on... -- justin
