[Bug 63932] Content compression breaks contract of ETag

https://bz.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=63932

--- Comment #1 from Michael Osipov <mi...@apache.org> ---
I think this also applies to the DefaultServlet for weak Etags:

An origin server
   SHOULD change a weak entity-tag whenever it considers prior
   representations to be unacceptable as a substitute for the current
   representation.  In other words, a weak entity-tag ought to change
   whenever the origin server wants caches to invalidate old responses.

but I am not fully sure. One might need to inquire with Julian Reschke.
