Hi,

it appears to me that this header replicates something that is already 
there; just use the last event ID as etag, and then you can do something 
like:

GET /foobar HTTP/1.1
If-None-Match: "abc"

Note that this makes If-None-Match a request header on which the 
response varies, thus it should carry:

Vary: If-None-Match

...but this is the case for Last-Event-ID as well.

Best regards, Julian
