etag is mandatory or not #62

Closed plmanik closed 1 year ago

plmanik commented 1 year ago

Hi, As per redfish specification etag is recommended and not mandatory to implement

**To reduce unnecessary RESTful accesses to resources, the Redfish service should support the

association of a separate entity tag (ETag) with each resource.**

Is my understanding correct? But Redfish protocol Validator is throwing error as User Accounts shall support etags and atomic operations

Thanks, Mani

For ManagerAccount resources, it's mandatory. There's an additional statement in the same clause that elevates the ETag requirement for ManagerAccount resources:

Implementations shall support the return of ETag headers for GET requests of ManagerAccount resources.

Hi, Got it. Sorry for missing mandatory for ManagerAccount resources. I hope ManagerAccount resources means ManagerAccount collection, ManagerAccount instance needs to implement etag. Please close this issue

Thanks, Mani
