E-tags generated in Apache and Netscape Enterprise Server (and at this
point probably SunONE) are based on things like inode #, file size and
mtime.

Rob,
That is interesting, thanks for commenting. I know that mod_dav has some C
code which seems to produce lock tokens according to that spec. E-tags, I
wasn't sure about. They just look like the other UUIDs.
I have a different dilemna in that most web sites I work on are dynamically
generated
Has anyone had the need to generate UUID/GUIDs as described here

One option is to use the uuidgen program that is installed on linux at
least. I am not sure that would always be available.

Mac OS X also comes with uuidgen, which probably means the other BSDs
do as well. The code seems straightforward enough to turn it into a
loadable module.
I'm using a simple random sequence of characters as a session id for
visitors:

I'd like to try to comform to the WebDAV specification for this, but
that is handy to have a simple way to produce a similar result. That is,
one application of this would be to generate valid WebDAV lock tokens.
It also seems that HTTP e-tags also use the same type of GUID.
