Different web servers generates different ETag header and this creates a problem for load balancing between them.
Currently uhttpd generates ETag similar to old Apache/2.2. But then Apache changed it.
I developing a small blog engine when on a router (uhttpd) runned a shrinked version and full version with images runned on my PC (Nginx).
If PC is turned off then requests are processed only by uhttpd.
To avoid re-downloading they both should generate similar ETag.
Nginx is most used replacement for uhttpd and even exists luci-nginx package.
Interesting that Gl.net and Turis devices uses LightHttpd which anyway uses bad ETag with loosed entropy.
