Description
|
||
|
|
-----------
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Wraps its inner route with support for Conditional Requests as defined
|
||
|
|
by http://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-ietf-httpbis-p4-conditional-26.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Depending on the given ``eTag`` and ``lastModified`` values this directive immediately responds with
|
||
|
|
``304 Not Modified`` or ``412 Precondition Failed`` (without calling its inner route) if the request comes with the
|
||
|
|
respective conditional headers. Otherwise the request is simply passed on to its inner route.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The algorithm implemented by this directive closely follows what is defined in `this section`__ of the
|
||
|
|
`HTTPbis spec`__.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
All responses (the ones produces by this directive itself as well as the ones coming back from the inner route) are
|
||
|
|
augmented with respective ``ETag`` and ``Last-Modified`` response headers.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Since this directive requires the ``EntityTag`` and ``lastModified`` time stamp for the resource as concrete arguments
|
||
|
|
it is usually used quite deep down in the route structure (i.e. close to the leaf-level), where the exact resource
|
||
|
|
targeted by the request has already been established and the respective ETag/Last-Modified values can be determined.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The :ref:`FileAndResourceDirectives-java` internally use the ``conditional`` directive for ETag and Last-Modified support
|
||
|
|
(if the ``akka.http.routing.file-get-conditional`` setting is enabled).
