API Development
Why is Last-Modified/If-Modified-Since generally considered coarser than ETag/If-None-Match?
A
It isn't coarser, they're equally precise
B
It's keyed on a timestamp with typically second-level granularity, so a resource changing twice within the same second is indistinguishable, unlike a content-based ETag
C
Last-Modified only works with images
D
It requires a database, unlike ETag
