Validate Entity Tag (ETag)
Add another layer of validation for the cached objects.
How it works
This behavior instructs the edge servers to compare the request’s ETag
header with the header of the cached object. If the headers differ, the edge server sends a new copy of the object. This validation occurs in addition to the default validation of Last-Modified
and If-Modified-Since
headers.
Validation of entity tags improves efficiency of caches and saves bandwidth by preventing unnecessary data transfer.
This behavior doesn't include any options. Specifying the behavior itself enables it.
