[1.x] etag question for Atom binding

I'm getting a failure in ContentNegotiationTest.testXMLFeedGet().
Abdera is bailing out as it can't find an etag of a suitable format in
the response. What's coming back is

ETag: customers23999306

While keeps it happy is.

ETag: "customers23999306"

However there's something I'm not understanding here as I assume this
must have worked in the past.

Regards

Simon

Looking at the HTTP specs it seems that the ETag is expected to be a
quoted string.

 from [1]

       ETag = "ETag" ":" entity-tag

from [2]

      entity-tag = [ weak ] opaque-tag
      weak       = "W/"
      opaque-tag = quoted-string

from [3]

       quoted-string  = ( <"> *(qdtext | quoted-pair ) <"> )
       qdtext         = <any TEXT except <">>

So I'll fix the code to make this so.

Simon
