TEST CLAUSE INFO

Gist

server MUST return 412 Precondition Failed when If-Match tags do not match

Requirements

This test clause tests the following 1 requirement(s).

1. "If none of the entity tags match, or if "*" is given and no current entity exists, the server MUST NOT perform the requested method, and MUST return a 412 (Precondition Failed) response" (rfc2616)

Developer notes

We cannot test the "If-Match: *" case with intermediaries because it is always a miss. We do not test with PUT because PUT responses are not cachable.
