Hello Aprelium,
Does Abyss work with any cache headers, or can we configure the addition of such?
ETag, Expires, If-None-Match, If-Modified-Since, and so on?
I'm working on adding this functionality into my scripts since it doesn't appear Abyss works with them, would be nice to know for sure.
Thanks,

Toasty,
Abyss Web Server supports and negociates with browsers default static file service based.
It uses for that Date, Last-Modified to report the file state and responds to the following headers:
| Code: | If-range
If-modified-since
If-unmodified-since |
Negociation is automatic for static files and can be disabled (totally or partially) using http://www.aprelium.com/data/doc/2/abyssws-win-doc-html/hosts-configuration.html#HOSTS-GENERAL-ADVANCED-DISABLEIFMODIFIED. No negociation is perofmed for scripts to which headers are forwarded. It's up to these scripts to generate the right Expires/Date/Last-modified headers and to repond to If-* headers correctly.
Expires support has been added in 2.9 (which will be released soon.) Etags support will follow later.

Thanks Aprelium.
When you do add E-Tag support, SHA1() wouldn't be a terrible idea for remote chance of collisions, I use MD5 in some of my scripts to automatically help with handling caching. I know older server software used CRC32.
I haven't seen an announcement for 2.9, and idea what features it may have?

Using hashs in E-Tags is not usually a good idea since their computation is costly and takes time on large files.
We can of course store them in a temporary location but then the server has to maintain a database like storage for these and such a solution could also become a bottleneck.
There are cheaper ways to consider for E-Tags. But we may also offer hashs while warning users to use them only in specific situations.
