[Bug 55573] New: FileETag needs MTimeSeconds, MTime with granularity of 1 second

https://issues.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=55573

            Bug ID: 55573
           Summary: FileETag needs MTimeSeconds, MTime with granularity of
                    1 second
           Product: Apache httpd-2
           Version: 2.4.6
          Hardware: All
                OS: Linux
            Status: NEW
          Severity: enhancement
          Priority: P2
         Component: Core
          Assignee: bugs@httpd.apache.org
          Reporter: addw@phcomp.co.uk

MTime will generate a time with micosecond accuracy if the file system supports
it. This can cause problems of coherence between machines where the copy
mechanism is not more accurate than 1 second.

This could be fixed if FileETag had an option MTimeSeconds that produced MTime
with a 1 second granularity.

The fix is not hard and would involve a few lines in:

ap_make_etag() in http_etag.c

set_etag_bits() in core.c
