I see that https://odrs.gnome.org/1.0/reviews/api/ratings returns also an ETag, but when I pass it in the call (there is used the current ETag):
$ wget --save-headers --header='If-None-Match: "11d0a5-5ce5a420980b3"' https://odrs.gnome.org/1.0/reviews/api/ratingsthen it downloads the whole file, even the ETag is the same.
Is it possible to implement it, or the ETag thing on this site is just kind of a "leftover" and cannot be used at all? I do not know how these things work under the hood, like whether the file is generated or anything like that.
The idea is to not download the file when it changed. It's relatively large and the response from the GNOME servers is sometimes slow. The If-None-Match works properly for the https://www.gnome.org/start/unstable/schedule.ics, the server returns 2021-10-15 09:07:34 ERROR 304: Not Modified..
