stokito opened a new pull request #324: URL: https://github.com/apache/tomcat/pull/324
Currently Tomcat 9 generates ETag like `W/"1047-1578315296666"` i.e. `Weak"Size-MTime in Milliseconds"`. This is incorrect ETag because it should be strong as for a static file i.e. octal compatibility. Also to make ETag working for load balancing between Tomcat and Nginx we need to change format to `"hex(MTime in seconds)-hex(Size)"` e.g. `"5e132e20-417"`. Nginx is not configurable but ether Tomcat is not. In the same time Nginx is more widely used while Tomcat returns incorrect ETag. This small PR fixes the problem. As a downside after update Tomcat will discard existing ETags but then they'll be updated on clients and everything will work fine. ---------------------------------------------------------------- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
