{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"DiscussionForumPosting","headline":"Support ETag headers","articleBody":"Split from [this issue](https://github.com/googleapis/python-storage/issues/30#issuecomment-800003630).\r\n\r\nRequesting support for `If-Match`/`If-None-Match` headers for GCS via the Python client library.\r\n\r\nMy use case:\r\nMy API is a thin layer over GCS (for storing profile images), and I only want to actually read the image data and serve it to the client if the actual content is different from their cache. They will specify an `If-None-Match` header to my API (as they won't know anything about GCS or generation numbers, kind of the point), so I just need to essentially pass this along to GCS. I don't want to either do the extra round tripping of reading the current file to check the ETag and then use the generation number from that in a subsequent request, or not use the client library.","author":{"url":"https://github.com/daniellehanks","@type":"Person","name":"daniellehanks"},"datePublished":"2021-05-25T15:37:07.000Z","interactionStatistic":{"@type":"InteractionCounter","interactionType":"https://schema.org/CommentAction","userInteractionCount":25},"url":"https://github.com/451/python-storage/issues/451"}
