RAMcache and Etags

Hi all,   Does the RAMcache honor Etags?   With that I mean:   1. The RAMcache has a cached response with an Etag in it.   2. A client does a HTTP request towards that cached page.   ...

I don't have the exact answer but I can say that RAMCache will send a conditional request to the origin web servers (whether it's If-None_match or If-modified-since I'm not 100% sure), however even if it does do if-none-match, I wouldn't advise relying on Etag unless you have ETag synchronisation between your servers, otherwise you may get 200 responses when you should get 304.
