Research direction

Start by locating the implementation of urllib.request.urlopen and reviewing how HTTP request and response headers are handled. Compare the requested ETag behavior with existing urllib support and determine the tests needed to demonstrate conditional requests and responses. Done means the behavior is implemented and covered by tests, but the issue names no specific files or tests.
