Thanks for explanations Daniel, all clear now. Perhaps these things should be mentioned in the man page, the current --etag-save and --etag-compare sections gave me a clear impression these options are to be used in separate curl invocations.
How about adding this paragraph to the --etag-save documentation? In many situations you want to use an existing etag in the request to avoid downloading the same resource again but also save the new etag if it has indeed changed, by using both etag options --etag-save and --etag-compare, in the same command line. -- / daniel.haxx.se || https://rock-solid.curl.dev -- Unsubscribe: https://lists.haxx.se/mailman/listinfo/curl-users Etiquette: https://curl.se/mail/etiquette.html
