ETags

HiveApi provides an ETag Middleware (located in app/Ship/Middlewares/Http/ProcessETagHeadersMiddleware.php) that implements the shallow technique. It can be used to reduce bandwidth on the client side (especially useful for mobile devices like smartphones or tablets).

By default the feature is disabled. To enable it go to app/Ship/Configs/hive.php configuration file and set use-etag to true. Of course your client should send the If-None-Match HTTP Header (= etag) in all requests for this feature to work properly.
