Attempts to cache the sent entity by its ETag
, either supplied or generated
by the hash algorithm specified by the INI setting
http.etag.mode.
If the clients If-None-Match
header matches the supplied/calculated
ETag, the body is considered cached on the clients side and
a 304 Not Modified
status code is issued.
A log entry is written to the cache log if the INI setting
http.log.cache is set
and the cache attempt was successful.
If this function is used outside the http_send_*() API, it facilitates the ob_etaghandler().
Return Values
Returns FALSE
or exits on success with 304 Not Modified
if the entity is cached.
See the INI setting
http.force_exit for what "exits" means.
Examples
<?php
http_cache_etag();
http_send_data("data");
?>
