And thus, the dynamic page should use the "Etag" header field to handle
If-None-Match requests, using the page's entropy (variables, internal or
external, that will be hashed to produce an unique identifier)
Unfortunately most servers are just unable to serve Etags, and tools like
httrack can not efficiently update the corresponding dynamic pages.
