Okay, I'll take a stab at this one... > When does an (strong) etag of a resource change? > > 1) when the content of a resource has changed (e.g. after a PUT) > 2) when one of the properties has changed (e.g. after a PROPPATCH) > 3) in both cases 1) and 2) I think the answer is whenever the GET response changes. So for most resources the answer is almost always (1), not (2) or (3). If you have a live resource that is dependent on other info, the answer might vary. ------------------------------------------ Phone: 914-784-7569, ccjason@us.ibm.com I do not check nn621779@smallcue.com
