Weak Etag vs Strong Etag
------------------------

[](#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"`

Refer to the [blog post](https://moafak.github.io/blog/2018/02/28/weak-etags-laravel/) for more info.

------------

[](#installation)

```

```

Then just include this in your `app/Http/Kernel.php` in the appropriate place where you want to import the middleware:
