In this way the server can limit the time of the nonce's validity. # The inclusion of the ETag prevents a replay request for an updated version of the resource. # (Note: including the IP address of the client in the nonce would appear to offer the server the ability # to limit the reuse of the nonce to the same client that originally got it. # However, that would break proxy farms, where requests from a single user often go through different proxies in the farm. # Also, IP address spoofing is not that hard.) # # An implementation might choose not to accept a previously used nonce or a previously used digest, in order to # protect against a replay attack. Or, an implementation might choose to use one-time nonces or digests for # POST, PUT, or PATCH requests and a time-stamp for GET requests.
