hi Karen, thanks for the response..I havent verified if the client is sending the If-none-match header. Essentially my project uses rss feeds. and i redirect them to feedburner. I dont want my site to keep sending http 200 along with the entire feed if no udpates have been made to the feed. i can see the etag being sent in the http response. but when i see the http access logs, the next time that the feedburner crawler comes to fetch, my site sends out a http 200. As a reference, i checked the http access logs on my self hosted wordpress blog and found that WP correctly sends out 304 to Feedburner fetcher when there's no new content.
