If the `If-None-Match` header does not match the current value in Redis we have to generate a new response, because the resource changed. +Do not use query parameters (for example `?scope=all`) for endpoints where you +want to enable ETag caching. The middleware takes into account only the request +path and ignores query parameters. All parameters should be included in the +request path. By doing this we avoid query parameter ordering problems and make +route matching easier. + For more information see: - [RFC 7232](https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc7232) - [ETag proposal](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab-ce/issues/26926) |
