See RFC 2616 (HTTP/1.1).

ETag is an unique object identifier identifying an exact version of an
URL. Exists in both strong (guaranteed unique) and weak (possibly not
unique) variants. For certain queries such as If-Range only strong ones is
acceptable to prevent that partial content from two difference versions of
the URL gets merged.
