Armadietto: If-None-Match Discrepancy

Server Development
1

I’ve installed Armadietto, and under some unclear circumstances, clients will not see new records created by other clients. I’m looking at the HTTP requests, and I see the client sending an If-None-Match header with the value “1642646049201”, and the server replying 304 Not Modified, but with an ETag of “1642649550275”. That’s wrong, yes?

One difference between the installations where I see this issue, and where I don’t: where I see the issue, I’m using the version from npm, which appears to be from four years ago. Where I don’t see the issue, I’m using the master branch. There have been a lot of commits since then - maybe it’s time for a new release?

4 years? Indeed, time to npm publish.

It’s getting some traffic on npm.

I think we could try to get most of the currently open PRs merged before tagging a release. Would be nice to have e.g. the front-end update in there, so it looks a bit nicer and works properly on mobile screens.

Let’s talk about it in the call tomorrow?
