> Note: The case of a HTTP header is not important.
> It can be "etag", "Etag", "ETag", "eTag", "etAg" or any other combination.
> The only thing that needs to change here are the quotes.

> Comment 3 by dzuelke, Nov 17, 2007
> Granted, header field names are case insensitive, but I guess it cannot hurt to stick to the spec, which uses 
> "ETag" :)
