Hi, looking at <http://greenbytes.de/tech/webdav/draft-ietf-httpbis-p4-conditional-06.html#rfc.section.2>: --- snip --- entity-tag = [ weak ] opaque-tag weak = "W/" opaque-tag = quoted-string ... A "weak entity tag," indicated by the "W/" prefix, MAY be shared by two entities of a resource only if the entities are equivalent and could be substituted for each other with no significant change in semantics. A weak entity tag can only be used for weak comparison. --- snip --- According to the ABNF, "w/" would be allowed as well. However, the prose doesn't mention this. It seems this was just an oversight, and the spec should state the weakness indicator *is* case-sensitive, by saying: entity-tag = [ weak ] opaque-tag weak = %x57.2F ; "W/", case-sensitive opaque-tag = quoted-string Feedback appreciated, Julian
