Description

From https://github.com/Otto-AA/solid-acl-utils/issues/1#issuecomment-560094697 :

NSS support for etags and if-match is currently not available (weak etags -> if-match gets ignored; etags not provided on GET requests; if-match maybe completely ignored by NSS)

ETag-based versioning is pretty basic, important functionality for a pod server.
We should find out if it actually works properly in NSS currently, and maybe @kjetilk can also add it to the Solid test-suite! :)

Research direction

No files or tests are named. Start by checking how NSS handles ETag and If-Match requests, including weak ETags and ETags on GET responses, then compare the behavior with the referenced Solid test-suite expectations. Done means documenting whether versioning works correctly and identifying any required server or test changes.
