If-None-Match
Conditional request based on an ETag
What the If-None-Match header does
If-None-Match makes a request conditional on an ETag: the client sends the ETag it already has, and the server replies 304 Not Modified (no body) if the resource is unchanged. It's the core of efficient revalidation and saves bandwidth.
Example
If-None-Match: "33a64df5"Where it's used
If-None-Match is a request header. Request headers are sent by the client to describe the request and what the client can accept.
