--- Comment #4 from Sergey Ponomarev <stok...@gmail.com> ---
I also thought to make ETag configurable like in Apache HTTPD but in fact for
clients this is still opaque value and the Nginx is not configurable anyway
while Apache Htttpd can be configured to be compliant with Nginx.

I'm asking for this because this is a real issue for me. I developing a new
service (https://github.com/yurt-page coming soon) that will use several
servers:
* WiFi router with a small blog engine running on BusyBox httpd
* Tomcat on PC with the same blog engine plus admin panel. When PC is online
requests will be redirected from router to PC.
* Front server with Nginx with basic WAF, cache offload and static IP (kind of
Cloudflare).

So here the problem with ETag is extremely important for success.
BusyBox not even had support of ETag so I sent a patch to to them
http://lists.busybox.net/pipermail/busybox/2020-July/088102.html

And I'm pretty sure that I'm not the only one who needs the ETag format
interop.

BTW the new ETag format while generated at the same speed are 14 bytes long
while old used 22. Seems like not a big deal but they are transmitted on each
request.
