[Bug 39727] Incorrect ETag on gzip:ed content

[bu...@apache.org]

https://issues.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=39727

--- Comment #38 from Anshul <an...@gmail.com> ---
The server response contains proper Vary header clearly indicating the response
varies depending whether client is able to accept gzip content or not.

In that case, the responsibility lies with the intermediate proxy to make sure
all conditional headers check are met before sending a cached response for an
ETag.

For the implications mentioned in the description:
* The repeat request from same client will have same value for
"Accept-Encoding" header as well as User Agent string meaning Apache has
sufficient information to decide whether to send plain text or gzipped
response. If-None-Match can have same ETag value in both case and still server
should have no problem deciding which response to send.

* The above logic covers range queries as well.
