I now have this HTTP traffic, using ETags and modification date, which is perfect :
Request GET Entity If-non-match [104-1327680277477] If-modified-since Fri Jan 27 17:04:37 CET 2012 Cache directives [] Response 304 Description Not Modified Entity LastModified Cache directives [] ETag "104-1327680277477" In the resource callback, the entity is NULL because response is 304. So I have to keep a variable at all time of the old version, right ? Is it possible to still get a cached copy in the callback, maybe relying on the browser cache ? > On Fri, Jan 27, 2012 at 9:28 AM, Koen Maes <koen at koma dot be> wrote: > > > double checking, and handle does not provide req, resp as parameters, > > either. > > > > Are you talking about ServerResource.handle()?
