If you say that "No other change to the httpd.conf file", what > caused the difference in ETag value? Don't know, the "W/" bit occurs only when the http2 protocol is active. The only change I made was to uncomment the line: LoadModule http2_module modules/mod_http2.so the Protocol line was already present, but as noted in the docs ignores protocols that are not available. > > 3.

Yes. curl -I http://192.168.1.6:/yrarc/yrex0001.html HTTP/1.1 200 OK Date: Fri, 07 Apr 2017 15:07:47 GMT <-------- Server: Apache X-Frame-Options: SAMEORIGIN Upgrade: h2,h2c Connection: Upgrade Last-Modified: Sun, 26 Mar 2017 03:12:45 GMT ETag: "c14-54b9999bf581b" Accept-Ranges: bytes Content-Length: 3092 Content-Type: text/html > > 4.

The H2SerializeHeaders directive is not present so it is taking the default of off. I added it with the following result: curl --http2 -I http://192.168.1.6:/yrarc/yrex0001.html HTTP/1.1 101 Switching Protocols Upgrade: h2c Connection: Upgrade HTTP/2 200 date: Fri, 07 Apr 2017 15:16:38 GMT <------ server: Apache x-frame-options: SAMEORIGIN last-modified: Sun, 26 Mar 2017 03:12:45 GMT etag: "c14-54b9999bf581b" accept-ranges: bytes content-length: 3092 content-type: text/html > So, what is this dated used for and does an incorrect date affect anything?
