HTTP - The definitive guide O'Reilly. ISBN 1-56592-509-2 explains this rather
well.

Hello,

This is not strictly speaking related to Lua per se, but... perhaps
someone could point me to the right direction considering the number of
HTTP implementations in Lua out there...

To make a long story short, I'm a bit confused on how the different
HTTP entity transformations work together... or not. In other words,
from an HTTP server perspective, how does one properly combine things
like entity tags, conditional requests, ranges and content encoding to
name a few?

Even after going through Jeffrey C. Mogul's "Clarifying the
Fundamentals of HTTP" and such, I'm not the wiser :P

Any pointers, guidelines, opinions or advises very welcome :)

Thanks in advance.

Cheers,

PA.
