    # Sets the etag, last_modified, or both on the response and renders a
    # "304 Not Modified" response if the request is already fresh.
    #
    # Parameters:
    # * <tt>:etag</tt>
    # * <tt>:last_modified</tt> 
    # * <tt>:public</tt> By default the Cache-Control header is private, set this to true if you want your application to be cachable by other devices (proxy caches).
    #
    # Example:
    #
    #   def show
    #     @article = Article.find(params[:id])
    #     fresh_when(:etag => @article, :last_modified => @article.created_at.utc, :public => true)
    #   end
    #
    # This will render the show template if the request isn't sending a matching etag or
    # If-Modified-Since header and just a "304 Not Modified" response if there's a match.
