No. Anyways, I couldn't reproduce the issue easily, hm. Will watch it  
and come back on it if necessary.

You never do. Its a special Apache/libneon hack :-) Which per RFC  
should not confuse you.

When Apache send a resource with content-encoding: gzip, it adds "- 
gzip" to the ETag (for no good reason. While different etags for  
different content representation are allowed, its not required either.  
Unfortunately libneon does not seem to support TE out of the box).

Anyways, we send an conditional GET to catch both cases:

   If-None-Match: "abc", "abc"-gzip

and CalServer should just check whether one of the two does not match  
(it works fine with Apache).
I had the impression that CalServer gets confused by multiple etags in  
the if-none-match header, but as I said I can't reproduce it easily.

Thanks,
