Re: [fetch-tests] fetch conditional GET with ETags [WIP] (#3592)

As per https://fetch.spec.whatwg.org/#http-network-or-cache-fetch, a 304 response received at the network layer is converted as a 200 response using the browser cache at JS level.

Your test is expecting a 304 response at JS level but it will never surface.
What you really want is to check the 304 response at the network level.
You can check that using a web inspector or other network sniffing tools.
