<p>If there is <em>one</em> thing to fix in your broken protocol it's the fact that <code>ETag</code> is also great at being a <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HTTP_ETag#Tracking_using_ETags">fucking tracker</a>, but <code>HTTP 304 Not Modified</code> is the same so congrats, we have caching with also having it being tracked. And of course the lawsuits went against KISSmetrics and Hulu instead of browser vendors or protocol designers, because if I had time for this shit (and any trust in the Justice) I probably would sue them, not the ones merely watching their logs.</p>
<p>The client should only do a <code>HEAD</code> to get new metadata and then do it's own side-effects. It's not tracking-proof but it would at least mean having to do tracking on multiple requests and with a risk of false-positives (<code>HEAD</code> and then sometimes <code>GET</code> being used by some software for link previews), while currently you can basically be 100% sure because it's part of the protocol.</p>
<p>The solution adopted by most frontend folks for cache managment was to put a hash into the filename, and it's quite a good way to do it in their case. It should only have been into headers rather than into the filename so it could be used by other folks and a hash/version in the filename would get more rare, thus having better caching.</p>
