Hi Steve, ETag numbers are - roughly - checksums of the files being requested which can be used in caching mechanisms. The only directive in the configuration of an Apache HTTP server directly related to the ETag validator is 'FileETag': http://httpd.apache.org/docs/current/mod/core.html#fileetag Please take a look at these pages for a more thorough explanation: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HTTP_ETag http://www.w3.org/Protocols/rfc2616/rfc2616-sec14.html (Section 14.19) Best Regards, Mathijs Schmittmann steve owen schreef op 5/11/2015 om 6:16 PM: > > > Sirs, > > > > Don't know if I'm following the correct protocol!
