Details

Currently, snippets doesn't send any ETags or Last-Modified headers, but it should, as some clients (Fennec, for example, which is going to be using the snippets service soon) will benefit from saving bandwidth when they don't need to download new snippets. From what jakem tells me, Zeus should Just Work (c) in terms of returning a 304 if you provide the right headers. Given that Zeus handles most of the load, I think the simple solution of hashing the snippet HTML will do the trick. However, since I've never actually handled ETag or Last-Modified headers before, I might be missing something. Thoughts? (CC jakem for input on Zeus, pmac for a second opinion)
