Hi, ...as summarized today by Sam Ruby (<http://intertwingly.net/blog/2007/09/30/Etag-vs-Encoding>). My feeling is that over here there is indeed consensus that using Content Coding indeed is a case of server driven content-negotiation; but it's also pretty clear that there are places in the spec that could be read differently. Let's clarify those. Related to that, it's (IMHO) also not clear at all whether you need to use "Vary" on the response if the request didn't contain the header you're varying on. My reading was that yes, you need to do so, but that's not what IIS7 does (which at least gets the ETag right), and as far as I recall, Henrik N. argued the other way in the past.
