Support for conditional GET in metadata aggregator (was #474)

Add support for conditional HTTP GET requests in the aggregator module. This would enable clients to efficiently poll for aggregated metadata.
Could be implemented using Last-Modified/If-Modified-Since and ETag/If-None-Match headers.
The aggregator2 module seems to already have some caching logic onboard, so it makes sense to implement it there.

Just to be clear: Every place you write "aggregator" in the above text, you are referring to the "aggregator2"-module?

I agree that it would be a nice feature to have. I never really got around to finishing the aggregator2 module, so there are probably other features missing to.

In any case: Patches welcome :)

Status: Accepted

I think the generic SSP ETag-functionality would cover this.. Can we close this @jaimeperez ?
