Instructs edge servers to compare the request's ETag
header with that of the cached object. If they 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.
You can specify whether this behavior should support only strong ETag
values, ignoring weak ETag
and always returning a full response, or weak values should also be accepted. For more details, see the RFC Standard.
