Tag de Entidade (ETag)

Resposta Direta

Cabeçalho de resposta HTTP que fornece um validador de cache opaco para verificar se um recurso foi modificado no servidor.

Technical Explanation & Operational Mechanics

Permite que navegadores façam requisições condicionais usando If-None-Match. Caso o recurso permaneça inalterado, o servidor retorna 304 Not Modified sem retransmitir o payload.

Technical Example & Practical Implementation

Cache Condicional HTTP com ETag

Uso de If-None-Match para validação de conteúdo em cache.

// Initial Request & Server Response:
GET /assets/bundle.js HTTP/1.1
Host: example.com

HTTP/1.1 200 OK
Content-Length: 450123
ETag: "686897696a7c-87b"
Cache-Control: public, no-cache

// Subsequent Visit (Conditional Request):
GET /assets/bundle.js HTTP/1.1
Host: example.com
If-None-Match: "686897696a7c-87b"

// Server response if unchanged (0 body bytes transmitted):
HTTP/1.1 304 Not Modified
ETag: "686897696a7c-87b"

What Is the Difference Between ETag and Last-Modified?→

Last-Modified relies on filesystem timestamps with 1-second resolution, while ETag provides an exact cryptographic hash of the content, avoiding false positives.
