A Laravel middleware for adding Weak ETags to HTTP requests to improve response times

Weak Etag vs Strong Etag

Etag is a digest of the response content, usually with a hashing function.
Strong etag means the content of the response is byte-for-byte identical.
While weak etag means the content is symantically identical.

Example of strong etag: "f9bba821aec5e6b4607597cb500898f7"
Example of weak etag: W/"f9bba821aec5e6b4607597cb500898f7"
