Yehuda,
I do sincerely apologies for my lack of known protocol. I'm no computer expert by any
means.
I shall post additional matters tomorrow to see what may become of this.
In the mean time I understand your stated position. It would appear that I may need to
address the matter direct with Apache!
Many many thanks for your time.
Kindest regards
Steve

>1. It is considered rude to reply to an individual instead of to the entire mailing list
when you have follow-up questions. Many people on the HTTPD list - including me - charge
for consulting services, but answer questions in a public forum to help everyone learn
more.
>2. As I already said, the ETag header are generated by the server based on information
about the file being served. This information can include the last modification date, the
size, the inode number and possibly other pieces of metadata. The purpose of the ETag
header is to allow caches to know whether the response has changed since the last time they
saw it. ETag headers being the same could indicate that the file being served from multiple
domains is the same file or just happens to be the same size as another file.
>ETags are NOT a thing to be allocated or purchased. ETag headers are generated by each
server individually based on the content being served.
>ETag headers are a part of the HTTP specification and have no meaning other than to allow
caches to detect changes to content.(Some websites have been found to use ETag headers
instead of cookies to identify unique users, but that is not the intended purpose of the
header.)
