The web frontend gives etag and last-modified, but does not honor If-None-Match (for etag) and If-Modified-Since (for last-modified) headers.

Doing so can reduce bandwidth usage (it's the goal of caching), from client to server, but also from server to server as a server can probably answer without having access to the file chunks
