Don't know if I'm following the correct protocol! This is the enquiry I sent Eric he

I would like an answer to the questions below if possible.

Subject: Fwd: E tag numbers
Dear Sirs,
Wonder if you could assist:-
I know that the majority of web sites/domains use Apache servers.
I'm currently tracking a number of Domains that are consistently using the Internet for
fraudulent purposes.
If a Domain uses Apache for it's server and a given E tag number, who provides the E tag ?
Is it allocated or purchased?
It would appear from my investigations that at least 5 Domains appear to be using the
identical E tag number, is this possible? They also use the exact same Apache server
reference.
I can provide the details should you require for assistance. I do trust you can assist,
this is an extremely important matter, many thanks.
Kind regards
Steve Owen

Hi Steve,
ETag numbers are - roughly - checksums of the files being requested
which can be used in caching mechanisms.
The only directive in the configuration of an Apache HTTP server
directly related to the ETag validator is 'FileETag':
http://httpd.apache.org/docs/current/mod/core.html#fileetag
Please take a look at these pages for a more thorough explanation:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HTTP_ETag
http://www.w3.org/Protocols/rfc2616/rfc2616-sec14.html (Section 14.19)
Best Regards,
Mathijs Schmittmann

E-tags are generated based on information about the file being served.
You can see the documentation here:
http://httpd.apache.org/docs/current/mod/core.html#fileetag
As you noted, Apache HTTPD is used by a significant number of people all
over the world.
There is no central registry of who owns a particular server.
If criminal activity is occurring, contact your local law enforcement
agency and try to have them investigate.
This varies by country, but in the United States, they can ask a court to
force an Internet Service Provider to reveal who owns a particular IP
address.
