boerwastaken commented on issue #1226: Investigate how hard could it be to reintroduce etags in index's views. URL: https://github.com/apache/couchdb/issues/1226#issuecomment-411276223 It looks to me like [the documentation for couchdb 2.1.2 (and probably other version's) views is joyfully out of sync with respect to presence of the etag response header](http://docs.couchdb.org/en/2.1.2/api/ddoc/views.html?highlight=etag). I think it might have been nice if the etag mentions had been removed from the documentation as the same time the generation of those etags were being taken out of the code. It took me a while to find this issue when I was pulling my hairs out over not seeing the etags I was yearning for. I also did a cursory search for changelogs mentioning that the etags had been dropped. Was it ever mentioned? For me those mean the difference between an app being usable and unusable (I'm in a developing country with sub-sub-subpar networks).
