About this tag
ETag is an HTTP header used for cache validation and concurrency control in web applications. On WindowsForum.com, discussions cover automatic ETag management using WCF Web API Message Handlers, as demonstrated by Howard Dierking. This approach helps developers implement efficient caching strategies and reduce bandwidth by allowing clients to conditionally request resources. The tag is relevant for developers working with Microsoft's WCF Web API, HTTP services, and RESTful APIs on Windows platforms.
In this episode, Howard Dierking demonstrates a really cool sample that allows you to build a Message Handler that will automatically apply ETags. Plus, at the end, we have a bonus life-hacking talk about how a busy PM uses Link Removed to take control.
