As far as I see, the only possible correct configuration would be "Size" and/or "mtime" http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.0/mod/core.html#fileetag > This means that caches which use the Etag header to check freshness > are refreshing when it is not required. I guess that is the first question to pose :) * That's why the severity is set to wishlist, the current configuration of the mirrors composing the network may be not optimal, but it is working. * Which proxies do use only Etag by default ? That may be quite hard to apply Etag settings on all servers that use round-robin.... (given the number of servers, the fact they may change over the time) If you are a proxy administrator who wants to save bandwidth on ftp.us.d.o traffic, isn't that possible to specify that "Last-modified" HTTP should be used on that domain ?
