- # This method allows you to set the ETag for cached content, which

+ # This method sets a weak ETag validator on the response so browsers
+ # and proxies may cache the response, keyed on the ETag. On subsequent
+ # requests, the If-None-Match header is set to the cached ETag. If it
+ # matches the current ETag, we can return a 304 Not Modified response
+ # with no body, letting the browser or proxy know that their cache is
+ # current. Big savings in request time and network bandwidth.
+ #
+ # Weak ETags are considered to be semantically equivalent but not
+ # byte-for-byte identical. This is perfect for browser caching of HTML
+ # pages where we don't care about exact equality, just what the user
+ # is viewing.

+ # Strong ETags are considered byte-for-byte identical. They allow a

- # By default, Action Dispatch sets all ETags to be weak.
- # This ensures that if the content changes only semantically,
